Tutorial - How to activate widescreen for your meetings

If you use your API-key to start a meeting, you can now start video meetings in widescreen mode (HD/aspect-ratio 16:9).

To start a meeting in HD/16:9 just start a meeting with the new options[widescreen]=true parameter:

  • Grab your API-key from the developer portal.
  • Copy and paste the following curl into your shell: 
curl -X POST \
-H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY" \
-d "user[name]=John Doe" \
-d "options[widescreen]=true" \
https://api.eyeson.team/rooms
