Getting "This API is supported only for scheduled or recurring" when accessing meeting recording

Question

Getting "This API is supported only for scheduled or recurring" when accessing meeting recording

Marcin Gorczynski 10

I have as Subscription set to:

change: 'created'
resource: 'users/{userId}/onlineMeetings/getAllRecordings'

I have two meetings scheduled in my calendar:

May 5th
August 5th

Now for both events when I join and record it I'm getting correct notifications.

Calling GET /me/onlineMeetings/{meetingId} for both returns result

But for GET /me/onlineMeetings/{meetingId}/recordings/{recordingId} I'm getting error for Meeting created on May 5th

Error is:

{
    "error": {
        "code": "PreconditionFailed",
        "message": "This API is supported only for scheduled or recurring.",
        "innerError": {
            "date": "2024-08-13T11:25:13",
            "request-id": "1f534e62-327f-46b6-8298-a294ff212847",
            "client-request-id": "1f534e62-327f-46b6-8298-a294ff212847"
        }
    }
}

For meeting scheduled on August 5th it works just fine.

It also works fine for meeting scheduled TODAY but for May 1st.

It returns this error for all the events created 2 months ago (or older) - the date of event doesn't matter, it's only when it was created seems to have an impact.

Hi @Marcin Gorczynski

According to the documentation, this API is only available for meetings that have not expired, and for meetings that you created long ago, please check to see if the API is not being used because it has expired.

How is it possible to tell through Graph API if meeting has expired then?

Also according to documentation it is expired 60 days after start (or end time) of event. But I can today schedule event for May, do the recording, can be notified and I am able to get the recording through API (although it's highly unlikely to happen in real life).

Hi @Marcin Gorczynski

When a meeting is initiated through Microsoft Teams Calendar or from the Teams channel using the 'Meet now' option, attempting to retrieve recordings for the meeting, may result in error message as "This API is supported only for scheduled or recurring meetings".

I am accessing this API for an ad-hoc meeting; however, I am consistently encountering the same error. The meeting was held just one hour ago.
{onlineMeeting-id} = Actual meeting id
Calling url https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/onlineMeetings/{onlineMeeting-id}/transcripts
Can you please help me on this

"error": { "code": "PreconditionFailed", "message": "This API is supported only for scheduled or recurring meetings.", "innerError": { "date": "2025-01-15T08:30:28", } }

Hi Jay,

As previously stated, 'This API is supported only for scheduled or recurring meetings.' For ad-hoc meetings, a precondition failure will occur since the meeting is not scheduled as an event in the calendar. So, this API does not support listing transcripts for ad-hoc meetings.

This was not a call initiated from "Meet now" - it was a call that I have clicked on a meeting in scheduled even in calendar but it was scheduled 3 months before.

So the thing is that if I scheduled an event in calendar in May 13 and set the date on May 14, then when I join this meeting today (a lot months later) and record it, I will receive notification from subscription about new recording, but getting this recoding from GraphAPI will result with this error.

Now if today I will schedule a meeting on May 14 and also join this meeting today and record it, I will also receive the same notification but this time getting recording from GraphAPI will work.

The only difference is "when event was created" - not the recording.

As for "meet now" - there are no notifications sent for those so I can't even get meeting ids for them, so I'm not even able to make such request to GraphAPI

Hey @KalyanSarla-MSFT
For here i am using scheduled calendar meeting and try to get transcript but I am still receiving the error response.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/onlineMeetings/{onlineMeeting-id}/transcripts

"error": { "code": "PreconditionFailed", "message": "This API is supported only for calendar backed OnlineMeeting", "innerError": { "date": "2025-01-15T08:45:17" } }

Hi Jay,

I believe you might have used this API to create an online meeting. However, the meeting should be created as a calendar backed event. You can attempt to create another meeting using this API. Hope this helps.

Hi KalyanSarla
No, I am using the Windows Teams app calendar, and the meeting was scheduled from there. I am attempting to access the transcript through an API call, as I mentioned earlier in the thread.

Additionally, I attempted a different approach to retrieve the transcript from the event calendar; however, this also resulted in an error in the response.
Api call :- GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users('14b779ae-cb64-47e7-a512-52fd50a4154d')/onlineMeetings('MSoxNGI3NzlhZS1jYjY0LTQ3ZTctYTUxMi01MmZkNTBhNDE1NGQqMCoqMTk6bWVldGluZ19ObVUwTlRreFl6TXRNMlkyTXkwME56UmxMV0ZtTjJZdE5URmlNR001T1dNM1pqWTJAdGhyZWFkLnYy')/transcripts

{'error': {'code': 'NotFound', 'message': 'UnknownError', 'innerError': {'date': '2025-01-17T04:57:51', 'request-id': '6937b503-7746-4627-acf7-8a5f02f1070e', 'client-request-id': '6937b503-7746-4627-acf7-8a5f02f1070e'}}}

Hi Jay,

Thank you for your explanation, I understand that you are creating the meeting through teams calendar, I have tried the same but was not able to reproduce the error, so sharing the steps I followed for reference:

1- Created new meeting through teams calendar.
2- Get online meeting id using 'joinweburl' of the meeting and use the link in GET /me/onlineMeetings?$filter=JoinWebUrl%20eq%20'{joinWebUrl}'
reference link - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/onlinemeeting-get?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http#http-request
3- Copy online meeting id from the response and use it in the API for listing the transcripts.

If you get the same error again you can submit a support request with Microsoft support team for further assistance.

Hi KalyanSarla,

There is still an issue with the event created from the channel. Please refer to the screenshot below. When I attempt to access it, an error is returned with the following message:

"message": "This API is supported only for calendar backed OnlineMeeting",

On the other hand, if I schedule a regular event without using the organization channel, it returns the transcript payload without any errors, as confirmed in your previous response.

Hi Jay,

Yes, it is the expected outcome as this API does not support getting transcripts from channel meetings. That is considered as a precondition failure and you are receiving the error message.
