How to handle multiple meetings using the same URL

Last updated: October 25, 2024

When dealing with situations where multiple meetings use the same URL, there are two main approaches to ensure recordings are associated with the correct meeting:

Option 1: Kick and rejoin

This is the simplest approach:

  1. Schedule bots for each meeting as usual, assuming each meeting URL is unique.

  2. Have the host kick out the bot from the first meeting when it ends.

  3. Allow the next bot to join for the subsequent meeting.

This method maintains the standard one-bot-to-one-meeting relationship, making it easier to implement and manage.

Option 2: Use stop/start recording endpoints

This approach allows one bot to create multiple distinct recordings:

  1. Use the stop/start recording endpoints to control the bot's recording sessions.

  2. Stop the current recording when a meeting ends.

  3. Start a new recording when the next meeting begins.

This method is more complex as it breaks the one-to-one relationship between bots and meetings. It requires additional logic to manage the stop/start actions based on meeting schedules.
