Creating a Meeting

CreateConf

API Description

This API is used to create an instant meeting.

Precautions

By default, this API enables you to join a meeting as a host. During API calling, there is no need to add your information to the participant parameters.
If other participants need to be invited, their information needs to be transferred. If other participants are not required to join the meeting, participant details and the number of participants can be empty.
This API is an asynchronous API. The return value only indicates whether the API is successfully called. The actual service processing result is returned in the corresponding callback function.

Method Definition

    
         HWM_SDK_AGENT_API hwmsdk::HwmErrCode CreateConf(HwmCreateConfInfo *createConfInfo, HwmConfAttendee *attendees, unsigned int count);

Callback Function

    
         virtual void OnCreateConfResult(hwmsdk::HwmErrCode ret, const char* reason) {};

Parameter Description

Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
createConfInfo	Yes	HwmCreateConfInfo	Meeting details.
attendees	No	HwmConfAttendee	Participant details. If participants are not required, leave this parameter empty.
count	No	unsigned int	Number of participants. If participants are not required, set this parameter to 0.

**Table 1** HwmCreateConfInfo parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
subject	Yes	char[]	Meeting topic.
meetingType	Yes	HwmConfMediaType	Meeting type.
needPassword	No	bool	Whether a meeting password is required. NOTE: This parameter is valid only for meetings with a random ID.

allowRecord	No	bool	Whether meeting recording is supported. NOTE: This parameter is valid only for cloud recording, not for local recording on clients.
callInRestriction	No	HwmJoinConfPermissionType	Participants who are allowed to join the meeting. By default, everyone is allowed.
vmrId	No	char[]	Unique cloud meeting room ID. To schedule a meeting with a random meeting ID, set this parameter to an empty string.
vmrConfIdType	No	HwmVmrConfIdType	ID type of the cloud meeting room.
guestPwd	No	char[]	Password of a common participant. If this parameter is left empty, the server randomly generates a value. NOTE: This parameter is valid only for meetings with a random ID.
isOpenWaitingRoom	No	bool	Whether to enable the waiting room. NOTE: The function takes effect only after the waiting room function is enabled.
duration	No	int	Meeting duration, in minutes. The value ranges from 15 to 1440. Note: If this parameter is left blank, the server uses the default meeting duration.
