Hey @pedro.zumpano, thanks for posting and using Zoom! May I ask the meeting id you are trying to end? Thanks, Tommy ---

I got the same problem. Even though the meeting has ended and I received a meeting ended event from my webhook but the status won’t change to ended but it’s still ‘waiting’. I tried to call the API to update the meeting status but it didn’t change either. The meeting id is 461326362 ---

Hey @trongtin6495, Is this an instant meeting or recurring meeting by any chance? If so, that would explain the `waiting` status. Thanks, Tommy ---

Hi @tommy No, the meeting type is 2 so it’s not a recurring meeting. ---

i tryed many, in my case all are instant meetings and after a few minutes (with no one on the meeting) the meetings ends automatically, so its difficult send to you one specific meetingid. one sample can be this one (but already ended) 139674061 ---

Hey @pedro.zumpano, If it is an instant meeting, it will always say `waiting` unless it is in progress. Thanks, Tommy ---
