Creating a Meeting

CreateConf

API Description

This API is used to create an instant meeting.

Precautions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
