Taking transcription via OAuth2 application

Question

Hello everyone,

while searching for the Transcriptions API, I noticed that the listTranscription endpoint is available both for Application and Delegated flows.
By reading at the documentation, the 'online-meeting-id' is required to access a meet's transcriptions. When looking at the Online Meeting API, the GET with filterBy joinWebUrl is only available for delegated flows.
Since I am retrieving the transcripts from a user's calendar meetings (via an Application flow) isn't there another way to get the meeting ID (and therefore, access the transcriptions)?

Thank you.

Hello Aron Marinescu,

You can fetch the online meeting ID by passing join web URL using Application API permissions too.

To fetch the online meeting details using OAuth2 application, make sure to:

• Create the application access policy and grant the policy, otherwise an error "No application access policy found for this app" will popup.
• Make sure to encode the join web URL and pass in the Microsoft Graph API request.
• Also, pass User ID not User Email/UPN in the Microsoft Graph API request.
• Make sure to pass JoinWebUrl not JoinUrl in the Microsoft Graph API request.

Grant OnlineMeetings.Read.All application type API permission:

Create the application access policy and grant the policy:

Active "Skype for Business Administrator role" role must be assigned to the user performing this.

Connect-MicrosoftTeams

New-CsApplicationAccessPolicy -Identity Ruk-policy -AppIds "ClientIDofApp" -Description "Ruk"

Grant-CsApplicationAccessPolicy -PolicyName Ruk-policy -Global

Generated access token using client credential flow for sample:

The online meeting ID can be fetched successfully:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/UserID/onlineMeetings?$filter=JoinWebUrl%20eq%20'https%3A%2F%2Fteams.microsoft.com%2Fl%2Fmeetup-join%2F19%253amexxxxxxx'

const response = await client

  .api(`/users/${userId}/onlineMeetings`)

  .filter(`JoinWebUrl eq '${encodedJoinWebUrl}'`)

  .get();
