The Epic Online Services (EOS) Voice interface helps you create and manage voice chat rooms between your users. They can communicate one-on-one or in groups across multiple platforms, during a match, or in your application’s lobby.
You can use the Voice Web APIs in place of the EOS C SDK to create trusted server applications that implement custom room management and authorization. Before calling the Voice Web APIs, check out the following documentation: Web API Introduction for standards, authentication, and error codes.
Just like the Voice C Interface, the Voice Web APIs are intended for use on a trusted server and require a policy with userRequired disabled.
Voice Web API Endpoint
https://api.epicgames.dev/rtc/
Creating Room Tokens
In order to join a voice conference on a media server, users need to provide a room token.
The createRoomToken request will query these tokens for a list of ProductUserIds, using the optional player IP addresses to select the best server region for the voice session.
If the specified roomId does not exist, it is created.
The result contains the players room tokens as well as the endpoint for the media server that hosts the voice session.
Policy
The client must have the Voice:createRoomToken policy.
Room Tokens
The individual tokens contained in the response should only be shared with the corresponding player (ProductUserId) that requested them and not be made visible to the entire group as this would allow kicked players to potentially reuse another player’s token to rejoin.
Authorization
This call requires Bearer Token authorization with an EOS Client Auth access token, obtained from the Connect interface Web API.
