Hi @saidarao_billala,

The `start_url` that is returned by our Create Meeting API is only valid for two hours. However, if you wish to retrieve a new, refreshed URL, you can call this endpoint:

> **[Get a Meeting - Meetings - Zoom API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meeting)**
>
> Retrieve the details of a meeting.
> Scopes: meeting:read:admin meeting:read
> 
> Rate Limit Label: Light
> 
> Authorization
> 
> Flow: authorizationCode
> 
> Authorizat...

This endpoint will return a refreshed, valid start URL.

Let me know if this helps,  
Will
