Methods and systems for displaying a user interface including a join feature for an online meeting are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes detecting network activity for an online meeting, correlating the network activity to identify a meeting identifier for the online meeting, generating a join request for the online meeting based on the identified meeting identifier, and displaying a user interface configured to send the join request.

Join feature restoration to online meeting

Features to join an online meeting are crucial to successfully conducting the online meeting. Accordingly, embodiments are directed to restoration of such features to an online meeting generated without a join feature or an online meeting in which the join feature was never added or accidentally removed. A client application may be configured to receive an online meeting, detect an absence of metadata associated with a join feature upon analysis of the online meeting, parse a body of the online meeting to detect a collection of one or more URLs, verify each of the URLs with a HTTP get operation, and in response to a determination that a URL comprises an online meeting identifier, recreate the metadata with the URL to generate the join feature. Once restored, the join feature may be presented within an invitation for the online meeting.
