Create a meeting with client-chime-sdk-meetings

[sramirezpch]

Not sure why, but after creating the meeting with client-chime-sdk-meetings (using version 3.414.0) and trying to joing via the web app it says something about the alias not meeting the required length.

Here's how I'm creating the meeting

const chimeClient = new ChimeSDKMeetingsClient({ region: 'us-east-1' });

const meetingInfo = await chimeClient.send(
      new CreateMeetingCommand({
        ExternalMeetingId: ulid(),
        MediaRegion: 'us-east-2',
      }),
    );

And this is the response I'm getting when the CreateMeetingCommand runs:

Meeting:  {
  '$metadata': {
    httpStatusCode: 200,
    requestId: 'e90eb847-5fcc-4a46-a03d-3358f77198a3',
    extendedRequestId: undefined,
    cfId: undefined,
    attempts: 1,
    totalRetryDelay: 0
  },
  Meeting: {
    ...,
    MeetingId: 'ca7e8f18-4701-46c7-9e20-0ae4f6862713',
    ...,
  }
}

Am I missing something else? I believe I'm defining the required properties but no idea why I can't join to the meeting. If someone has used this library before or have any idea how to get past this errors would be appreciated. Thanks all!

Been following the aws-sdk v3 documentation for Javascript

Just found this on StackOverflow. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77174263/can-users-join-a-meeting-created-by-the-chime-api-through-the-chime-app
"
Can I use the Amazon Chime application to join an Amazon Chime SDK meeting?

The meetings created by the Amazon Chime meetings application and the SDK are distinct. The Amazon Chime SDK is meant for customers who would like to build the experience into their existing applications and it is not a means to create an Amazon Chime meeting (with a PIN) that can be joined using the Amazon Chime meetings application. You cannot use the Amazon Chime SDK to build a custom client to join an Amazon Chime meeting with a PIN."

This is correct. The AWS Chime SDK Meetings client is for developers to interact with the Chime API, allowing them to embed Chime's meeting capabilities in custom applications. It's separate from the Amazon Chime app and is not designed to integrate with it. Meetings created via this SDK are intended for access within these custom applications only.
