Does anyone know or have any example code on how to start an Instant Meeting with WebEX?
I can create a meeting, it's just not instant?

Hi Cliff,
I woud suggest simulating an instant meeting by creating a meeting via XML CreateMeeting (or URL API m.php?AT=SM) then either building your own host meeting URL or using XML GethostURLMeeting to auto generate it. You can reference the
Launching an “Instant” Meeting section on page 4 in "Scheduling and Launching Meetings on Mobile Devices using WebEx Web Conferencing APIs" tech notes on http://webexdeveloper.com > Learn > Tech Notes and White Papers.

I see this documentation:
https://developer.cisco.com/fileMedia/download/0e46fc7d-d979-481f-b5d2-e1d14203541a
It speaks about an Impromptu Meeting?

Hi Cliff,
While you could use m.php?AT=IM to start an "instant" meeting, it's generally not recommended. It will automatically start a meeting without pre-scheduling it; however obtaining/generating a join link is more difficult. The meeting number (which you would utilize to generate your join link) is not returned back upon the meeting start with AT=IM. Therefore it's better to simulate an instant meeting flow by scheduling it first (which will return the meeting key).

Thanks agin for your replies.
I have tried all the code from all the documents and nothing really works with creating an instant meeting. Using the code it just logs me in, then just goes to the Join an Unlisted Meeting page?
Totally lost..
But thanks,
Cliff

Hi Cliff,
If you can provide some additional details regarding the exact steps and APIs being used we can try to assist. No need to provide any security details (i.e. username/password or siteID/partnerID) but seeing the API requests would help. If there are any errors being returned by the URL API, it will be appended to the returned URL (i.e. AT=HM&ST=FAIL&RS={ReasonForFailure}).

I get at the end of the URL:
AT=SM&ST=FAIL&RS=RefCodeIsRequired&RN=TC1
04-30-2014 02:12 PM
I finally got it working, figured out it was missing the TC1 codes...
04-30-2014 02:17 PM
Now I just need to figure out how to get the meeting id and start the meeting :-)

Hi Cliff,
If you are scheduling using AT=SM, the meeting number (MK) should be returned in the response (AT=SM&ST=SUCCESS&MK=MeetingKey). If you schedule using XML API (CreateMeeting) this should also be returned in the XML response. You would retrieve this value and use it to either build your URL manually (m.php?AT=HM) or have it generated automatically via XML API (GethosturlMeeting). For joining a meeting you can use m.php?AT=JM or GetjoinurlMeeting.

Jayde
