  Hi Andrey,

  This approach where the auth key is generated has a validity only for 1 day which defeats it purpose.

  Can we ammend the api as if the the customer defines on when the auth token expires?

  Refreshing the token on a daily basis is practicaly challenging when the goal itself is to embed.

  Hi,

  No, as these are the security requirements.

  When the auth key expires, the Server will respond with "401 Anauthorized" according to waht the RFC rfc2617 states in the "Digest Operation" section https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2617#section-3.3
  

   Alternatively, the server
     may return a 401 response with a new nonce value, causing the client
     to retry the request; by specifying stale=TRUE with this response,
     the server tells the client to retry with the new nonce, but without
     prompting for a new username and password.

  In this case, the existing video session won't be closed.

  You could refresh the auth key for opening new sessions either by prompting for a username and password, and or by keeping creds saved in the page code.

  Alternatively, you could use oauth scheme, with which you can issue the access_tokens once those are needed using the long-living refresh_token according to oauth specification.

  Please take a look at code examples in our GitHub repo.
