There is now a link on the Meetecho page for that room and time.

However, this identifies a more fundamental problem that I've
commented on enough in the past to be sick of complaining about.
Especially if one is either busy or inexperienced, having to
bounce back and forth among multiple web pages to figure out
what is happening, when, and whether and how to participate in
it is, well, challenging and error prone.  The inclusion of
Meetecho links in the Tools agenda is both a huge step forward
and a step back because (1) The Tools agenda does not include
sessions like this and (2) There are sessions listed on the
Tools agenda that appear to have been covered by Meetecho but
(2a) there are no Meetecho links for those sessions on the
agenda (2b) those sessions did not appear on the Meetecho list
until, AFAICT, sometime over the weekend, so, while I laid out
my (remote participation) calendar last week, I naturally
assumed "not covered".   I could have asked or complained, but I
have done so too many times before and am just out of energy.

The cases that fall under (2) are worse than those under (1)
because, with (1), it is at least clear that one needs to look
somewhere else while, unless one somehow knows better, (2) looks
like a definitive statement of non-availability.
