Two Subscribe Token, One Stream

[alaboy3]

Hi there,
I was wondering if it was possible to give two different stakeholders different tokens (sort of like passwords) and have them both view the same stream so I guess my question is: Are you able to set up two different subscribe tokens associating them to one stream? Hope this makes sense!

Hi Angelik,

Great question! This is a core feature of how our Subscribe tokens work with some Dolby.io Streaming users choosing to give every unique user their own token as a way to manage access.

To do this start by creating a Publish token with Secure viewer enabled and a unique stream name:

Next, create two Subscribe tokens and assign them to the newly created Publish token stream name:

With both Subscribe tokens created, you can now give the stakeholders their respective Subscribe tokens which they can use to access the stream like so:
<https://viewer.millicast.com?streamId=[Account> ID]/[Stream Name]&token=[Subscribe Token]

In this example, we used the Dashboard to create the tokens, however, this above process can be done programmatically with the token APIs.
