Starting Meetings
Create an instant meeting or start a saved scheduled meeting.
Start an Instant Meeting
- Open Start Meeting or Quick Meeting from the dashboard.
- Review the prefilled title or enter one. A non-empty title of 3-100 characters is required.
- Optionally select an available room.
- Submit to create the meeting and review any capacity, license, or recording warning.
- On the success screen, copy the shareable meeting link and use the start/join action to open the meeting client in a new tab.
Creating the meeting does not automatically place you inside the media session. Allow the new tab and complete the client's join flow. Share the public meeting link, not your token-bearing host session URL.
The quick-meeting form does not collect invitees or a custom duration. Use scheduling when you need to prepare participants and timing in advance. Organization subscription and concurrency limits still apply to instant meetings.
Start a Scheduled Meeting
The meeting host or an organization Owner/general Admin can start a scheduled meeting. Open the saved meeting from Meetings and select Start Meeting.
You can request a start before the planned time while the meeting is still Scheduled. A scheduled meeting does not start automatically, and the join endpoint rejects it until it is active.
After a successful start, open the returned meeting-client link. The service attempts notifications to invitees. Capacity may be reduced to the organization's allowed limit, and cloud recording may be unavailable even when the meeting itself can start.
If Starting Fails
- Confirm the selected organization and your permission to start the meeting.
- Review the license/concurrency message before creating another meeting.
- If preparation is still being checked, keep the saved meeting and retry later rather than repeatedly creating duplicates.
- Check browser popup handling if the meeting is ready but no new tab appears.
