Creating Sessions
Overview
A Vonage Video session is where users connect to interact in real-time. Your application server generates the session so that the clients can join.
This how-to will go over:
- Creating a session
Before you start
As previously mentioned, you will need an application server running to create a session.
Create a Session
When creating a session, there are a few options you can specify depending on your needs. They are media mode, archiving preference and location hint. You can find more information on these options in the Create a Session guide.
In addition to the Server SDKs, a session can be created by making an API call to an endpoint. You can find more information in the Vonage Video API Reference
The session ID will be returned and can then be passed to the client to allow users to connect and interact with their tokens.
