Connecting via a URL

In the URL box in the browser enter the following URL, replacing the placeholders with the information from your stream:

https://zipcaptions.app/stream/[SESSIONID]?joinCode=[JOINCODE]

Example:

https://zipcaptions.app/stream/9q4r-j2jk?joinCode=ewqe

Sharing a Stream via a URL

It is possible to share the connection information for your broadcast via a URL.

https://zipcaptions.app/stream/[SESSIONID]?joinCode=[JOINCODE]

https://zipcaptions.app/stream/9q4r-j2jk?joinCode=ewqe

If you have an anonymous stream, or you only want certain people to join your link, you can share the URL without the join code parameter. Using the above example:

https://zipcaptions.app/stream/9q4r-j2jk
