How to control VDO.Ninja with Touch Portal

Controlling VDO.Ninja with Touch Portal using API commands

How to

1. Create a new room as a director, with a custom API key, so that it looks like this: https://vdo.ninja/?api=APIKEY&director=TouchPortalExample Replacing the APIKEY with a string of your choosing.

2. Then, in Touch Portal, add a new button with the HTTP GET action. In the HTTP GET Action GET URL field, input your desired action. This particular GET action will send Guest 1 to Scene 1 with a push of the button: https://api.vdo.ninja/APIKEY/addScene/1/1
