Define Shortcodes

[digitallysavvy]

define what the short code will look like, consider what variables can be passed in

[digitallysavvy]

broadcast:

• [agora id="123" client="audience"]
• [agora id="123" client="broadcaster"]

communication:

• [agora id="123"]

@jalamprea let me know if you think the above short codes need any other attributes to be passed in.

I think we can make something more detailed and easy to use for the end users, for instance
[agora-broadcast channel_id="34"]
And the role (host or audience) will be defined in the channel settings according to the selected user who is able to be the host.

For the communication shortcode, we can use something similar:
[agora-commnication channel_id="34"]

[digitallysavvy]

@jalamprea can we pass commands through the shortcode?

For example:
Allow the user to set a broadcast with the audio disabled
[agora-broadcast channel_id="34" audio="false"]

or allow user to start a broadcast that is just the screen
[agora-broadcast channel_id="34" screen="true"]

this could be a simple setting in the stream.init

var localStream = AgoraRTC.createStream({
    streamID: uid,
    audio: true,
    video: true,
    screen: false
  });

Absolutely!! great idea, let me know the list of supported commands and I will add to the shortcodes properties

I think just these 3 for now. I will think more and add an new comment if I think of more.

    audio: (true/false),
    video: (true/false),
    screen: (true/false)
