Update

Based on our observations, our recorder is experiencing high delays when connecting to the Zoom service (sometimes up to a few minutes). We've deployed a large increase in the recorder timeouts to mitigate the higher delays. While this doesn't solve the issue of the bot joining in a timely fashion, the bot should be more successful in eventually joining the meeting. We're continuing to investigate the root cause of the high delays in connecting to Zoom's meeting service.
