meetingSessionSummary()

meetingSessionSummary() Currently, this method simply returns the session’s id. Future goals may include returning information like the total number of unique participants seen in the session or the session’s start time and end timestamps. This method is synchronous — it does not return a Promise.

Return value

Returns DailyMeetingSessionSummary:

string

The unique ID of the meeting session. This ID is stable for the lifetime of the session and can be used for post-call lookups via the REST API — for example, to retrieve logs or transcripts associated with the session or find it in your dashboard.

Example

const { id } = call.meetingSessionSummary();
console.log('Session ID:', id);

// Use the session ID after the call ends to fetch transcripts
const res = await fetch(`https://api.daily.co/v1/transcripts?mtgSessionId=${id}`, {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${DAILY_API_KEY}` },
});
