Generating a spectator link with video publishing disabled

You can generate a link to a Space so that a user will have their AV disabled within the Space. They can see the videos of other participants and interact with the Space contents and chat as normal but their own video feed is not broadcasted. Since there is a limit of 10 AV publishers in a Space, this feature can be used to prioritize the AV of some users over others.

Spectator mode can be achieved by setting the lobby and avPublishing field of the features parameter to false when calling the launch endpoint. Upon clicking the link, the user will be taken directly to the Space and bypass the device setup lobby.

An example payload would look something like:

{
  "id": "space 1",
  "features": {
    "lobby": false,
    "avPublishing": false
  }
}
