To make a video call Agora provides the channel concept. If you are starting a video call, you have to specify a channel name and the token for authentication. The other person also needs to join on the same channel to talk to each other.

A Channel name can be any string within 64byte. Check what Agora documentation says:

Unique channel name for the Agora RTC session in the string format. The string length must be less than 64 bytes. Supported character scopes are:

  1. The 26 lowercase English letters: a to z.
  2. The 26 uppercase English letters: A to Z.
  3. The 10 digits: 0 to 9.
  4. The space.
  5. "!", "#","$", "%", "&", "(", ")", "+", "-", ":", ";", "<", "=", ".", ">", "?","@", "[", "]", "^", "_", " {", "}", "|", "~", ",".

The token is the one that can be created using AgoraSDK by providing the appId, appCertificate, channelName, uid, role, expiry. Please check Agora documentation for more details: https://docs.agora.io/en/Interactive%20Broadcast/token#generate-a-token

The implementation should be like the following diagram. The Channel and token generation should be done in the serverside. Hope it would clear all doubts about Agora. enter image description here
