Summary

At Daily, they emphasize the importance of building on top of open standards, utilizing WebRTC as their core offering. They provide meeting tokens, which are JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), to manage access and configure room features for individual users. These tokens can be created in bulk or minimized network requests, allowing developers to create them themselves. The anatomy of a JWT consists of three parts: header, payload, and signature, which are digitally "signed" using a secret or public/private key pair. To create a token, one needs an API key and domain ID, which can be obtained from the Daily dashboard. Developers can integrate tokens into their applications by creating a test token using jwt.io and validating it using the provided endpoint. The idea is to eliminate unnecessary network requests by self-signing tokens, allowing developers to decide how to integrate them into their application.
