Hi @Surya Prakash,

Thanks for reaching out!

I can understand that you are trying to create OnlineMeeting, to execute this query with delegated access (Access on behalf of a signed in user) an app requires access token, please follow authentication and authorization steps to get the access token:

1. Register the app with Microsoft Entra ID.
2. Request authorization.
3. Request an access token.
4. Use the access token to call Microsoft Graph.
5. [Optional] Use the refresh token to renew an expired access token.

Reference document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/auth-v2-user?tabs=http#authentication-and-authorization-steps

Note: Consent to "OnlineMeetings.ReadWrite" for delegated access.

To use application permission/App-only access (access without a user) for this API, tenant administrators must create an application access policy and grant it to a user to authorize the app configured in the policy to create online meetings on behalf of that user (with user ID specified in the request path).

Hope this helps.
