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.
SteuartR I am in the same situation and very frustrated... I have a HubSpot account which prospective customers click on a link to schedule meetings with me. How is HubSpot supposed to send them a meeting link if the Microsoft Teams URL changes for every meeting?!?
My company has recently taken away WebEx due to COVID budget constraints in which I am now stuck using Microsoft Teams exclusively. I don't understand why Teams does not allow us to share the same URL Link for all meetings. This could be resolved simply by requiring a unique password for each meeting, which should enable me to use the Same URL without issue!

You can do this on Zoom and they have end-to-end encryption so are more secure than Teams.
SteuartR, I had a similar use case with x.ai (AI meeting scheduling assistant), which was my main point and the reason I started this post. But then they recently added a Microsoft Teams integration (they formerly only had Zoom), and so now my practical need is resolved.
So, you should probably ask HubSpot to add a Microsoft Teams integration. With the Covid-19 crisis, Microsoft Teams is hot on the heels of Zoom in popularity, and pretty much any service that currently integrates Zoom would readily see the business need to integrate Teams. So, you might be surprised how quickly that might happen if you make the request.
