Meeting Metrics without Host

Hello,

If I create a meeting via the API and send only join urls to people will I still be able to retrieve past meeting data via the API even though there is no "host", per se? Or does there have to be a host to get past meeting data? I want to hit endpoints such as /past_meetings/#{params[:meeting_uuid]}/participants and /past_meetings/#{params[:meeting_uuid]on past meetings and store the data. 

 

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi @itsryan 

 

I'm not sure how there could ever not be a Host. If you are able to create a meeting via the API without defining a Host, I expect it will default to the user used to make the request.

 

The Host does not have to join the meeting (if you have join without host enabled) but they are still the "Host" of the meeting.
