I am in a meeting vs I am in the meeting

Both phrases are fine/correct, but they're used in different contexts. 'I am in a meeting.' is a general statement indicating that the person's currently in a meeting. On the other hand, 'I am in the meeting.' is more specific and implies a particular meeting that's been previously mentioned or is known to both the speaker and the listener.
