Generate Token

To manage secured communication, every participant that connects to meeting needs a access token. You can easily generate these token by using your apiKey and secret-key which you can get from VideoSDK Dashboard.

For developement purpose, you can generate a temporary token from VideoSDK Dashboard's API section.


tip

The best practice for getting token includes you generating it from your backend server which will help in keeping your credentials safe.
