Create permanent video meeting link in Microsoft Teams
You could ask HubSpot to add functionality to automatically generate Microsoft Teams links using the API: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-ca/graph/teams-concept-overview. There are specific commands that can generate new meeting links each time you need them: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-ca/graph/api/application-post-onlinemeetings?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
You might find them surprisingly responsive, since Covid-19 has boosted Microsoft Teams to be one of the leading online meeting solutions.
Actually, my original use case was similar: I used x.ai to schedule meetings and I was frustrated by the lack of permanent links. But then x.ai added Microsoft Teams link generation, and my most pressing issue is actually solved now. That said, I believe there is still a need for regular users like us to be able to provide a permanent teams link.
It's extra work, but it would technically keep the same URL published, but update new meetings on the back end when they go to use the URL.
ChrisWebbTech, thanks for your response. However, extra work defeats the purpose: perhaps I was not clear in my original post, but one of my goasl is primarily to avoid having to generate a new link for each of this kind of meeting. Considering that the new meeting attendees see the link only once (whether it is a newly generated link or a permanent link) and that I am the only one who sees new links each time with the way things currently work, the convenience of a permanent link is primarily for my benefit, not for those whom I invite.
Is it the case that noting has changed on this topic? With the current lockdown this is required functionality for regular team meetings right now. If nothing has changed I guess I will have to switch to Zoom.
- No, not changed.
For regular team meetings I suggest that re schedule a reoccurring Teams meeting in Outlook. Or maybe even better, create a reoccurring Teams meeting in a channel.
