(Graph API & Teams Meeting) How to join an online meeting with an application instance account

Copper Contributor

Hello Team:
I created an account for an application instance through the Power Shell command

New-CsOnlineApplicationInstance

 

Is there a way to join this application instance account to an online meeting, similar to calling Graph Communications Calls API, that can join bot to an online meeting without the user to answer.


Thanks.

We will check on it from our end and let you know, if we find any.

@Sayali-MSFTThanks for your reply.

As far as I know, Graph OnlineMeetings Create API (or CreateOrGet) can specify participants in the Participants property of the OnlineMeeting object of the request. But this just lists it as an attendee instead of joining the meeting.

As shown in the figure, we hope that a Bot like BotDemo can join the meeting by using the Graph Calls API without requiring the user to join or answer.

@ShawnLien-Calling and Meeting Bot provides basic functionality like Create Call, Join a call, Transfer/Redirect a call, Join a scheduled meeting and invite the participants by integrating cloud communications API Graph API.

@ShawnLien-Could you please confirm if your issue has resolved with above suggestion or still looking for any help?
Thanks for your help.
We're still working on example practices.
Our requirement is to be able to call an API so that AAD users can automatically join the meeting.
There is no need to dial, join, or answer operations on the Teams UI screen.
There doesn't seem to be a way to do it yet.
