you just need to generate a token to log as another participant
a
great, do you have a link on how to generate a token ?
ok, I see how to generate a token using livekit-cli. What is the significance of --participant field ? can it be anything ?
f
i do it on : cloud.livekit.io Settings>Keys>Generate token
hm, im not sure about --participant
a
thanks, I am running a local instance
Copy code
```
I use the command

```livekit-cli create-token \
    --api-key devkey --api-secret secret \
    --join --room testroom --identity user1 \
    --valid-for 24h
with server address http://127.0.0.1 but it will not connect to the room
f
sorry, i didnt read the localhost part.. i recommend you to create a free account to use the livekit meet
a
so demo page won't work with localhost server ?
d
it does. you'd have to put in the right URL..
<http://127.0.0.1>
would default to port 80.. LiveKit HTTP handler runs on 7880 by default

Thanks, I ended up writing a simple HTML page to display the stream
