Direct Link#

Redirect individuals to OpenVidu Meet using simple HTML links. This is the simplest way to integrate OpenVidu Meet into your application - perfect when you want participants to join meetings in a new browser tab or window with the polished OpenVidu Meet interface.

Usage#

Create a direct link to an OpenVidu Meet room using a simple HTML anchor tag:

<a href="https://your-domain.com/meet/room/my_room-abcdef?secret=12345">Access room</a>

When someone clicks the link, they'll be redirected to the OpenVidu Meet room in their browser, ready to join the meeting.

A room URL is a room access link

The room URL is a room access link. The examples use the anonymous moderator/speaker links, but a room also has user and identified-guest links — see Room Access for all of them.

You can get them programmatically from your backend with the REST API : the access.anonymous.moderator.url, access.anonymous.speaker.url and access.user.url properties of the MeetRoom object, or an identified guest's accessUrl.

API Reference#

Attributes#

Info

Direct links accept the same attributes as the OpenVidu Meet Web Component, except room-url and recording-url: the link's href plays that role instead. See Web Component Attributes for the full list and descriptions.

Customize the meeting by passing attributes as query parameters in the room URL:

<a href="https://your-domain.com/meet/room/my_room-abcdef?secret=12345&participant-name=John&leave-redirect-url=https://meeting.end.url/">
    Access room as John
</a>

Commands#

Direct links do not support programmatic commands since the meeting runs in a separate browser context. If you need to control the meeting programmatically, consider using the Web Component or Iframe approaches instead.

Events#

Direct links do not emit events to your application since the meeting runs in a separate browser context. If you need to listen to meeting events, consider using the Web Component or Iframe approaches instead.
