Sending Links to Snapshots or Videos
When opening a Primary Standalone Live Preview window, a unique URL is generated for this window
session. You can email or instant message this URL to as many people as possible as long as your system
resources permit. Recipients can then click on the provided link and view live snapshots or videos
simultaneously in the Secondary Standalone Live Preview window(s).
Tip: All Live Preview window sessions sharing the same URL, including one Primary Standalone Live
Preview window and multiple Secondary Standalone Live Preview windows, are identified as one single
"<webcam>" user in the Connected Users list. You can disconnect a "<webcam>" user to terminate all
sessions sharing the same URL. See Viewing Connected Users (on page 235).
Best practice:
1. The sender opens the Primary Standalone Live Preview window, and sends the link to one or multiple
recipients.
2. The sender must wait until at least one recipient opens the Secondary Standalone Live Preview window.
3. The recipient(s) should inform the sender that the link has been opened.
4. Now the sender can close the Primary Standalone Live Preview window.
For additional information, see How Long a Link Remains Accessible (on page 252).
