Why don't you try to consult the Duden? There are many examples: https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Besprechung
When you check out this English-German dictionary you will see that there are many different translations: https://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/besprechung
As you can see in both dictionaries there are many different meanings. To answer such a general question would require a very long answer. I would suggest to you the following: First check out both dictionaries, when this does not help you, at least you could come up with more specific or contextual questions, which would help you and potential people answering your questions.

All three words have a similar meaning, but using them depends on the context. Das Meeting and die Besprechung (or das Bechprechen) are considered synonyms. Meeting however comes from the English language and means das Treffen, but das Treffen kann be used for any situation (formal or informal), where people meet up and get together, whereas das Meeting is used by Germans for more official situations e.g. a Business Meeting. Die Bechprechung (or das Bechprechen) is to discuss certain issues or matters. Das Meeting is rather to exchange and communicate common topics and issues.
Der Termin is an appointment. It's mainly used for doctor's appointment (Termin beim Arzt) or when having an appointment with a client or customer (Kundentermin).
I'm not a native German speaker, this is how I understand these words I hope I didn't confuse you even more!

I mean, what translations does it give? I don't see a lot of overlap in https://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/termin and https://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/besprechung, for example.

It says they are the same.
