[MOIN-AKHTAR]

I have created a calander event with google meet link via nodejs now i want to make meet link in such away that anyone who have goole meet link can join call without getting button like ask to join.

const { google } = require("googleapis");
const credential = require("./service-account.json");

const createEvent = async () => {
  try {
    const requestId = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100000);
    console.log(requestId);
    const auth = new google.auth.JWT(
      credential.client_email,
      null,
      credential.private_key,
      ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar"],
      "googleAdminEmail",
      credential.client_id
    );
    const calendar = google.calendar({ version: "v3", auth });
    const event = {
      summary: "Appointment",
      description: "Meeting with client",
      start: {
        dateTime: "2023-07-14T10:00:00",
        timeZone: "Asia/Karachi",
      },
      end: {
        dateTime: "2023-07-14T11:00:00",
        timeZone: "Asia/Karachi",
      },
      conferenceData: {
        createRequest: {
          requestId,
          conferenceSolutionKey: {
            type: "hangoutsMeet",
          },
        },
      },
    };
    const response = await calendar.events.insert({
      calendarId: "primary",
      resource: event,
      conferenceDataVersion: 1,
    });

    console.log("Event created: %s", response.data.htmlLink);
    console.log("Google Meet link: %s", response.data.hangoutLink);
    return;
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
};

createEvent();

Hey @MOIN-AKHTAR can you please let me know if it is possible or not? If yes then how?

Google Meet's security policies have changed, and it's no longer possible to create a completely open meeting without any access control through the API alone.

But here is a alternative solution

You could add all expected participants as guests to the event, giving them direct access. However, this would require knowing their email addresses in advance.

Here is how your event look like

  const attendeeEmails = ["[email protected]"];

  const event = {
    summary: "Google Meet Meeting",
    start: {
      dateTime: new Date().toISOString(),
      timeZone: "UTC",
    },
    end: {
      dateTime: new Date(Date.now() + 3600000).toISOString(), // 1 hour from now
      timeZone: "UTC",
    },
    conferenceData: {
      createRequest: {
        requestId: Date.now().toString(),
        conferenceSolutionKey: { type: "hangoutsMeet" },
        conferenceDataVersion: 1,
      },
      entryPoints: [
        {
          entryPointType: "video",
          uri: "",
          label: "meet.google.com",
        },
      ],
    },
    visibility: "public",
    transparency: "transparent",
    guestsCanModify: false,
    attendees: attendeeEmails.map((email) => ({
      email,
      responseStatus: "accepted",
    })),
  };
