Web Console Publishing

OvenMediaEngine Enterprise supports Web Console Publishing starting from version 0.18.1.2-1.

Web Console Publishing is a feature that allows you to share the OvenMediaEngine Enterprise Web Console's stream list page, stream details page, and event monitoring page with external users without requiring sign-in. You can share specifying virtual hosts, applications, and streams, as well as you can manage shared links by setting permissions and specifying expiration dates.
