Figure 1 Open application practice overview

**Table 1** Server API integration practice
Practice	Scenario
Practice 1: authenticating login	Before calling a server API, log in to the server by calling the app ID authentication API and obtain an access token.
Practice 2: creating a meeting	Creating a meeting on the server: You can integrate your existing management system with meeting management APIs of Huawei Cloud Meeting and call the server APIs to create a meeting. Creating a meeting on a client: You can create an instant or scheduled meeting on a client.
Practice 3: joining a meeting	Answering a call from the server to join a meeting: The server calls the server API to add you to a meeting. You will receive a call and join the meeting after answering the call.

Best Practice 1: Authenticating Login

When integrating Huawei Cloud Meeting server APIs, you are advised to use the app ID authentication mode. After the authentication is successful, you can obtain an access token. After the first authentication is successful, the Huawei Cloud Meeting backend automatically allocates a Huawei Cloud Meeting account to each third-party user.
