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. 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.
