Broadcast Button Web Component
Overview
The Broadcast Button Web Component is a 1:many audio (optionally also video) broadcasting component. It allows you to broadcast live podcasts, auctions and speeches or press conferences to a broader audience, directly on your own website.
Embedding
You will need two separate websites: the first website is aimed for the broadcasting person, the other for the audience of the broadcast. Both websites embedd the same web component, however, they are configured differently.
Make sure to embed the Javascript file directly from your web meeting instance. This way you never miss an update.
<html>
<body>
<!-- embedd the web component -->
<broadcast-button api-host="https://<YOUR WEB MEETING INSTANCE URL>"
participant-name="Name"
start-text="Start broadcasting"
stop-text="Stop broadcasting"
feature="video"
streaming-token="80ef2294-cbf5-41a3-9348-0d4350dadc26"

meeting-id="2177-5337-3955-4915"> </broadcast-button>
<!-- embedd the WebRTC adapter for browser compatibility -->
<script type="text/javascript"
