Join Meeting API

The API Doc describes that option of Joining a Meeting from a webpage. THE PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING IS THAT JOINING A MEETING THIS WAY DOESN'T SEND THE ATTENDEE TO THE MEETING BUT INSTEAD TO THE DIMDIM WELCOME TO WEB MEETING PAGE WHERE THEN THEY NEED TO JOIN THE MEETING. IS THERE A DIRECT JOIN WE CAN CONFIGURE FROM OUR WEBSITE. WE ARE USING DIMDIM PRO AND THE API OPTION DESCRIBED BELOW.

Join a Web Meeting by giving the Meeting Room Name
This API can used to integrate the “Join Web Meeting” scenario with any Web based Application. User needs to
provide the name of the Dimdim Web Meeting Room which they wish to join along with their Display Name
as specified in the below table in order to start a meeting.

Sample HTTP GET URL: http://hostname:port/portal/join.act...mName=demoRoom

meetingRoomName Mandatory Room Name of the Web Meeting.
displayname Optional Attendee Name as displayed on the Web Meeting Console
response Optional json/portal A json response is returned


Same “response=json” can be used in order to get the meeting join url in the form of a json instead of redirect.
Example usage is
http://hostname:port/portal/join.act...&response=json

The following join URL can be used directly to join the meeting -

http://webmeeting.dimdim.com/portal/...mName=demoRoom

Please put the room name in place of "demoroom" to join the meeting.

to follow your steps: we started our meeting and used the following url to join:

http://webmeeting.dimdim.com/portal/...e=siennaonline

we received:

HTTP ERROR 404

Problem accessing /portal/...mName=siennaonline. Reason:

NOT_FOUND

I am afraid I was not able to check the URL as it is broken. Could you please paste the complete URL?

Looks like we only copied part of the html line. The following link works fine:

http://webmeeting.dimdim.com/portal/...e=siennaonline

We noticed that each user comes in as Attendee1, Attendee2, Attendee3....how would we add on the key for the user name to this url? We will have the key populated by a edit box on our website. We tried

&response=json

but it doesn't work

The direct url is working:

http://webmeeting.dimdim.com/portal/...e=siennaonline

The complete url eith user name which is not working is:

http://webmeeting.dimdim.com/portal/...online&respons

e=json

The second URL is used to give only the json response and not the joining page.
