Facing Issue in Video SDK Web Integration

Video SDK
21

Hi, @chunsiong.zoom

I was reading this thread hoping to solve some questions and this particular answer is related to it.

Firstly, you said earlier in the thread that “There is no concept of scheduling or session time for Video SDK. The call is started on demand.“. Does that mean that it isn’t possible to create a session via endpoint Create a Session (POST /videosdk/sessions) and, later, join this same session? I’m asking because when I try to do so, passing the exact same sessionName and sessionPasscode that were used to create the session, the dashboard shows that the live session has a different sessionId from the one I created before.

The reason I tried that is because I need to get and display the global dial-in numbers to my clients before the session starts (which are returned by the Create a Session POST request), so they can join via dial-in number if they want. The problem is, if I join and the live session has a different sessionId, than the dial-in numbers I got before are from a different session, and, thus, won’t work.

Please, help me understand in details the session and join flows and how to deal with my dial-in numbers situation.

Sincerely,

Rafael.

@Group_Software,

Create a session’s purpose it to get a dial in number for a session.
Do note that the number is valid for 24 hours from time for “Create session” is successfully called.

Uses joining frm the SDK can join normally to this specific session, and those on dial-in can join into the same sesion as well in the 24 hour timeframe.
