Using recycling expired Meeting IDs - block joining from old link

When a Meeting ID has expired, deleted, and then released to the pool of available Meeting IDs there is the risk to inadvertently join someone else's meeting if the old link is mistakenly clicked and the new meeting owner has not protected it with a password.

Currently, the only 'flag' presented to the user joining the meeting is that they are [joining an External Meeting]. 

Expectation would be that, since the old link is pointing to a specific domain not associated to where the Meeting ID lives anymore, that the user attempting to join the meeting is presented with a notification to note the [Link is invalid].

 

Alternatively, it would be great to have a way to either keep users in our account from inadvertently joining meetings that are not password protected or to 'Accept' that they are joining a non-password protected meeting.

@Bayron 

The meeting IDs are not re-used that frequently.

999 9999 9999 possible alternatives

99,999,999,999

 

Many corporates do limit their meetings to their own domain, education and government can do similar.
all the best

@ExpertswhoJohn  Thank you for your reply.

 

While meeting IDs may not be re-used that frequently, they do get re-used at one point or another. I personally saw a case of this where a meeting ID was reused within ~45 days of the original 'delete' date.

Moreover, while many entities may limit their meetings to their own domain some don't for either business purposes or due to poor-practices.

Either of the above individually or both combined create a situation where people may join someone else's meeting inadvertently creating confusion and poor user experience.
