View Meeting Details

To see the specifics of a meeting, run `get_meeting_details`. This gives you the join URL and when that video call expires. Need to know what's running? Use `list_active_meetings` to pull a list of all current or pending rooms.

Room Setup and Cleanup

Use `create_meeting_room` when you need a new video meeting space. You just pass an end date and specify if it's normal or group mode. When the room is done, run `delete_meeting_room`. This immediately deletes the room and terminates any active session.

Theme Management

Check a room’s current visual settings with `get_room_theme` for specific colors or logos. To update branding, use `update_room_theme`, passing both the room name and the desired hex color. You can also reset it entirely using `reset_room_theme`.
