How Connect establishes a connection

The coordinator introduces devices; session data is designed for a direct route.

The short room code helps participants meet. The coordinator negotiates the connection, after which Connect attempts a direct channel between devices.

Step by step
  1. The participant enters the room code.

  2. The coordinator matches participants and exchanges the information needed to establish the connection.

  3. The devices attempt a direct route.

  4. After connection succeeds, voice, video, screen sharing, chat and files operate in that session.
