Share Stream

The Share Stream tab lets you generate a viewer-only link to the live video feed from the selected device. Links can be protected with a pin code, limited to a maximum viewer count, and set to expire after a defined period.

Sub-tabs

The Share Stream tab has three sub-tabs:

  1. Configure the properties above.
  2. Click Generate Link.
  3. The generated URL appears in the read-only field below. Use the copy, share, or QR code buttons to distribute it.

Active Streams

Lists all sessions currently viewing the shared stream. Each row shows the viewer session identifier and connection time. Click the revoke action on any row to disconnect that viewer immediately.

Use the refresh button (top-right of the sub-tab header) to reload the active sessions list.


Stream History

Shows previously generated links with their creation date, expiry, and total viewer count. Historical entries are read-only.

Share links are scoped to the selected device. Changing the active device in the device picker does not invalidate links already generated for other devices.
