External Services
This plugin relies on the third-party service Agora.io to provide real-time video, audio, and messaging functionality, as well as usage analytics for the admin dashboard.
What the service is and what it is used for:
Agora.io provides the Real-Time Engagement platform required for live streaming (RTC) and real-time chat (RTM). This plugin uses these services to enable broadcasters to stream video/audio and interact with viewers. Additionally, it uses the Agora REST API (specifically https://api.agora.io/dev/v3/usage) to fetch and display streaming usage data in the WordPress admin dashboard.
What data is sent and when:
* Live Stream (RTC): Real-time video and audio data are transmitted through Agora’s servers whenever a stream is active.
* Chat Messaging (RTM): Text messages and “like” interactions are sent through Agora’s messaging servers when users communicate in the chat.
* Usage Analytics (REST API): The plugin sends the Agora project ID and date ranges to api.agora.io to retrieve monthly usage minutes. This occurs when an administrator views the plugin’s dashboard.
* User Identification: A randomly generated or non-personally identifiable User ID (UID) is sent to manage connection sessions. No personal WordPress user data (like emails or passwords) is sent to Agora.
