Generate URL to use for scheduled meetings

If I already have a calendar event that exists, and I just want to add a link to a Screen meeting to it, I don't have an easy way to generate a unique meeting code to use for that meeting without going through the "Schedule a meeting" flow.

This is now in the product! Click the "Meet Later" button to create both permanent and one-time meeting links.
Also, we've migrated all GCal meetings to permanent meeting links, so they should work just like before without you having to make any changes. We're also working on a Google Workspace app which will enable you to make any Google Calendar event a Screen meeting.

Hi! I'm the designer at Screen, and I just made a prototype of our current intention with this feature. It would be an immense help if you could try it out and give us your impressions about it, I'd love to know if this design would address your need.
Thanks!

@mustafa-hashmi I've authorized calendar access and I think I tried this, and it told me that the meeting had ended and was unavailable when it came time to use the link. But maybe I had tried to use a link from going through the "scheduled meeting" flow instead, and Screen picked up on the fact that that I removed the event it attempted to schedule?
What are the conditions that Screen will use to consider a meeting as "ended"?

Dustin Ingram: The room
end-time
will be adjusted to the end-time
of the calendar event. If the event in question is recurring
, the room will auto-update its end-time
to the next recurring instance end-time
when the current one ends. Please do note that we recently pushed some fixes to calendar event handling, so do try adding a Screen meeting link to either the
location
or description
field of an existing calendar entry again. If you have any issues, please do let me know!Mustafa Hashmi (Screen Team)

Dustin Ingram Hi Dustin. A slightly more convenient way may be to simply start a meeting, copy the meeting URL, and paste it into either the
location
or description
field of an existing Google Calendar entry. Screen
should pick up the event automatically as long as you've authorized calendar access.This is of course not ideal, and we'll figure out a better way to schedule meeting rooms / provision URLs for calendar entries.

My company also doesn't allow external calendar integrations and would like to schedule a future meeting without Google calendar.

To add here, my org has a policy to deny Google calendar integration with apps. It would be useful to be able to generate a URL for later that I can pop into the Cal Invite
