Concepts
Coviu provides a session based API for creating sessions and restricting access to Coviu calls. The core concepts exposed are
- Session: A Coviu call that occurs between two or more parties at a specified time, and has a finite duration.
- Participants: Users who may participate in a Coviu call.
- Waiting Area: Queues and the state of specific calls in that queue.
- Collections: Secure collections of data stored during the process of a call taking place. Can be used to retrieve recordings, consent submissions, and other data.
Participants join a call by following a session link in their browser, or mobile application.
The session link identifies the participant, including their name, optional avatar, and importantly their role. It is important that each person joining the call be issued with a different session link. A participant's role identifies whether that user may access the call directly (as a host) or they should be let into the call by another participant (as a guest). A participant assigned as a host should have their email address provided, and be an authorised user of the clinic.
