Problems setting registration to True in Meeting Services API CreateMeeting

Combination View Flat View Tree View
Threads [ Previous | Next ]
I'm trying to create a meeting using the API, I set registration to true, which forces me to set auto and request to true as well, but then I keep getting this error "you must turn off the options to let attendees join the meeting before the host". So I set joinTeleconfBeforeHost to false but I keep getting the same error. 
What am I missing?
 
We want to handle all the registration from our site,  so I just want to make a call and have a particular user registered for a particular event.  We don't want anybody who is not registered to attend the meeting.  So I assume I need to set registration, auto and request to TRUE. Is that right?
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ursula
 
To get rid of that error try setting <openTime>0</openTime>.  This will set the join before host to false
 
for registration you will want to set registration and auto to true,  but I would leave request to false.  This way you only have to send over basic information to register the user for the meeting.  Webex should return a registration ID that the attendee will need in order to join the meeting.  You may also want to set these meetings to unlisted.
 
 
Thank you,
