Shared Game Views and Controls

This document explains the Shared Game Views and Controls.

This experience is on the meeting system. Guests join the meeting from the URL provided by the Host but have no Control over the App.

Guests get Views and Controls during the meeting only if the Host gives them Full Control.

1. The Host generates meeting URLs from the Control Panel

Control Panel > STEP 4: Generate meeting URLs > Generate meeting URLs

Get directions on the meeting system here.

The Host Link is the URL he will open to start the meeting.

The Guest link is the URL he shares with CCUs to join the meeting.

2. The Host opens the ‘Host link’ to start the meeting

Control Panel > STEP 4: Generate meeting URLs > Generate meeting URLs > Host meeting

Host URL (example):
https://connector.eagle3dstreaming.com/v5/demo/CarConfigurator427_reimport/E3DS-Iframe-Demo?hostMeetingId=3456777

(for demo purposes, use the Host URL to start a meeting as a Host. Then, open the Guest URL below to join the meeting as a Guest to get an example of the Shared Game Views and Controls).

3. Guests (CCUs) open the ‘Guest Link’

The CCUs join the meeting by opening the Guest URL provided previously by the Host.

Control Panel >STEP 4: Generate meeting URLs > Generate meeting URLs > Join meeting

Guest URL (example):

The Host has full Control of the game.

The Guests will share the Host’s experience on the meeting (i.e. They are viewers with no Controls).

The Host is the 1st CCU. So, if he had 10 CCUs. By hosting the meeting, only 9 other CCUs can connect simultaneously.
