## Create a meeting

`meeting.create(MeetingCreateParams**kwargs)  -> MeetingCreateResponse`

**post** `/v1/meetings`

Creates a new meeting record. This endpoint only supports creation of meetings in the past. The `$title`, `$startDate`, and `$endDate` fields are required. Only the `$transcript` relationship is writable on create; all other meeting relationships are system-managed. The response is privacy-aware and includes a read-only `accessLevel`. See <u>[Uploading meeting transcripts](/using-the-api/uploading-meeting-transcripts/)</u> for the full file upload and transcript attachment flow.

Supports idempotency via the `Idempotency-Key` header.
