Application Details

The application has two components, the index.html page and the room.html page.

index.html

This is the landing page which presents the user with a dialog box to enter their "Display Name" and "Room Name". Once the Join button is clicked, this page redirects to the room path ex:/demoRoom which is served by the room.html.

room.html

This page is served served by main.py when the path contains a room name ex: /demoRoom. The main.py invokes the Room() class and performs the following:

1. Base64 and URL encodes the roomId ex:demoRoom in case it has spaces and special characters.
2. Checks the version number. When not provided as a query parameter, it will default to the latest version of the VidyoConnector.html.
3. Creates a random userName. For this example only the DisplayName is known so we create a random username for our Vidyo.io token.
4. Generates a Vidyo.io token from the userName using the getVidyoIOToken() function.
5. Creates a template variable url_vidyoio which contains a URL link to the VidyoConnector.html with all the proper query parameters.
6. The Template engine will generate an HTML file with an IFRAME that points to the url_vidyoio described in room.html.

Parameters

This sample can take the same parameters that are available for VidyoConnector.html. See VidyoConnector -> Web section of Vidyo.io Developer documentation.

In Addition, the version number can be specified by the version query parameters. ex: /demoRoom?version=4.1.4.7
