Issue ❌ 🚫

Embedding Streaming into a Webpage with no iFrame solution but always getting “a Token has been used” error.

Can you reuse it?

Refer to this document to embed the streaming into a webpage without iframe.

Answer 🔧

The moment the page sends the token to the server, it becomes invalid to use the 2nd time so you cannot use it.

Also there is a time limit on each token. the System will automatically expire unused token after the specific time period.
