What does "scheduled" mean for a meeting?

API and Webhooks

Can you please update the API docs to explain what exactly type 2, “scheduled”, actually means for a meeting?

I created meetings scheduled for next week (via JWT auth), and was able to start them now by navigating to the start_url. When guests visit the join_url, there is no indication as to when the meeting is scheduled to happen.

This meeting has not started

Hey @Civility,

Please see the “Notes” section at the bottom of this article:

Thanks,

Thanks for the pointer, @tommy. That page clears it up:

An instant meeting link will expire as soon as the meeting is over. Scheduled meetings can be started at any time before the scheduled time. The links will not expire or become invalid unless […]

And,

An instant meeting link will expire as soon as the meeting is over.

It would be really useful if this information was linked to from the API docs. Any chance to make that happen?

PS: seems like there’s a few missing words in the first paragraph of the Notes at the bottom:

A non-recurring meeting ID will expire 30 days after the [date the] meeting is scheduled for.

Hey @Civility,

We will look into adding this to our docs. CC @shrijana.g
