Open Application Practice Overview

Huawei Cloud Meeting provides open server APIs and open client SDKs. You can flexibly integrate Huawei Cloud Meeting capabilities into your applications. This section describes a few typical scenarios of Huawei Cloud Meeting integration.

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: 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: Start or schedule a meeting on a client.
Practice 3: joining a meeting	Answering a call from the server: Call a server API to add you to a meeting. Answer the call you received to join the meeting. Proactively joining a meeting on a client: Enter the meeting ID and password or click the link in the meeting notification email, on the Management Platform, or in the WeChat or WeChat applet to join the meeting.
Practice 4: leaving a meeting	Ending a meeting on the server: Call a server API to end a meeting. Leaving or ending a meeting on a client: End or leave a meeting on the in-meeting screen.

Best Practice 1: Authenticating Login

App ID authentication is recommended for integrating Huawei Cloud Meeting server APIs. After the authentication is successful, you can obtain an access token. After the first authentication is successful, Huawei Cloud Meeting backend automatically allocates a Huawei Cloud Meeting account to each third-party user.

Best Practice 2: Creating a Meeting

Your application server calls Huawei Cloud Meeting server APIs to schedule a meeting or create an instant meeting.
Your application calls the client SDK APIs to schedule a meeting or create an instant meeting.
