# Overview

As of version 2.5, ScreenMeet provides a global **x_prois_sm.ScreenMeet** class to your instance as part of our application. This class adds as a wrapper around the ScreenMeet REST API which provides all the necessary authentication and a few syntactic sugar wrappers around the ScreenMeet API.

This API will allow you to **create, schedule, reschedule, or close** sessions.

Whenever a session is created or its state changes on ScreenMeet, we utilize the Service-Now REST API to your instance (via the Service Account) to update the **x_prois_sm_sessions** table to reflect the current state of the session. As such, the **x_prois_sm_sessions** is **NOT THE SOURCE OF TRUTH** for the actual state of the sessions. Updates directly to the **x_prois_sm_sessions** table should be avoided.
