Something went wrong! Unable to get meeting information

Error message

Something went wrong! Unable to get meeting information

What it means

Thrown by getMeetingInformation. It calls GET /meetings?room=<encoded roomName>, parses the result with getMeetingInformationResponseSchema, and returns it. Any failure (fetch, parse, Daily non-2xx) is collapsed into this generic message.

Solutions

Inspect console.error('err', err) on the server for the underlying cause.
Confirm the roomName corresponds to a real Daily room.
Verify Daily app credentials are configured.
Update getMeetingInformationResponseSchema if Daily's response shape changed.
Re-throw with the original cause attached.

Example fix

// before
} catch (err) {
  console.error("err", err);
  throw new Error("Something went wrong! Unable to get meeting information");
}

// after
} catch (err) {
  throw new Error(`Unable to get Daily meeting information for room ${roomName}: ${err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err)}`, { cause: err });
}

Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Validate before calling

if (!roomName || typeof roomName !== "string") throw new TypeError("roomName required");

Type guard

const isMeetingInfo = (v: unknown): v is { data: unknown } =>
  typeof v === "object" && v !== null && "data" in (v as any);

Try / catch

try {
  const info = await adapter.getMeetingInformation(roomName);
} catch (err) {
  logger.error("meeting info failed", { roomName, cause: err instanceof Error ? err.message : err });
  throw err;
}

Prevention

Verify the Daily room exists before querying meeting info.
Keep getMeetingInformationResponseSchema in sync with Daily API versions.
Add a contract test against a Daily sandbox fixture.

When it happens

Trigger: roomName that Daily does not recognize, Daily returns an error status, network failure, or the meetings response shape does not match getMeetingInformationResponseSchema.

Common situations: Querying meeting info for a room that was never created or has been deleted; Daily credentials missing/invalid; Daily changed their meetings payload; rate limit exceeded.
