&audience

Secure Public Stream Publishing

The &audience parameter in VDO.Ninja enables secure public stream publishing, ideal for website embedding (using Iframes) while preventing unauthorized publishing.

Key Features

• Publishers get a unique publishing token, separate from the stream ID

• Viewers use a different audience token to access the stream

• Publishing requires both stream ID and publishing token

• Maintains compatibility with existing code structure

Example Usage:

# Publisher Link:
https://vdo.ninja/?audience=12345abcPublishingToken&push=JkYwyxy

# Viewer Link:
https://vdo.ninja/?audience=HrDrNy3jiA50QzlU&view=JkYwyxy

Technical Details

• Works with single streams only (not compatible with rooms)

• Password functionality remains mostly intact

• Public audience link appears in header unless &cleanoutput is used

• New publishers will establish new P2P connections while maintaining existing ones

Security Notes

• Keep publishing tokens private and unique

• P2P connections may expose public IP addresses

• Exercise caution with untrusted sources due to potential zero-day exploits

• System automatically identifies roles based on &view and &push parameters
