General settings
As a team member, you can configure any specific room's general settings.
Room name You may give your room a name of your choice or let Digital Samba Embedded auto-generate a name for it, if you leave the field empty.
Room description You may optionally add a description to help other team members understand your purpose or even to keep it clear for yourself, over time.
Make this room private In public rooms, participants can join using a simple room link that only includes the room name, without needing any additional token. However, in private rooms, participants will require a session token to join, so the link provided will need to include the necessary token for them to access the room.
Expires At (UTC) Room will be automatically deleted after the specified expiration time is reached. Nobody will be able to join the room after that expiration time. After the specified UTC time is reached, then nobody will be able to join the room and room will be auto-deleted maximum 3 minutes after the specified time. This setting is only applicable during the creation of a new room and is not included in the default room settings.
Maximum participants Set the number of maximum allowed concurrent participants for the room. Note that each product / plan comes with a limit you won't be able to surpass. For details, please visit https://www.digitalsamba.com/pricing-video-api.

Default role Select a role to be assigned to participants who join with no token (shared link to public room) or with a token without a role.
End-to-end encryption Secure usernames, chat messages, whiteboards and video / audio streams, including shared screens with encryption keys that only participants in the room have access to.

Participants joining an end-to-end encrypted session will not be able to read any previously posted chat messages.
Token-carried usernames will not be end-to-end encrypted in sessions set with E2EE.
E2EE will be suspended while sessions are being recorded. All participant stream exchanges will continue to be end-to-end encrypted; however, our recorder will access the encryption key to decrypt the recording before storing, so that it's made available for watching, resulting in this temporary suspension of E2EE.
