Microsoft Teams API for live events
Jonas2240 We are trying to create Live Events from Graph API and even when we create the live event it does not appear in the calendar. Did you face this same problem? If so, how did you solve it? Thanks so much!
Hi AngelesESP,
currently you can only create these Live Events via the Online Meeting API afaik. As per the documentation (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/application-post-onlinemeetings?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http), online meetings created via this API don't show in any calendar.
A workaround would be to create the Live Event via the Online Meeting API, then use the details obtained via the response in a new call to the Calendar API to create an event in the user's calendar (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-post-events?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http).
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Jonas
Hi Jonas2240 ,
Following up on your comment, how would I use the details obtained via the response in a new call to the Calendar API to create an event in the user's calendar? I retrieved the online Meeting information but am not sure how to use that information in creating the calendar event call. Would this calendar event show the Live Event Meeting on the calendar and can participants join straight from the calendar event?
