When a room is created it must be unique in the account across applications. It isn't permissible to have the same room name in different applications. I'd like to be able to create two applications, App1 and App2, and in each application, create a room called, "room_foo".

Or, maybe there's some way to organize the rooms that I'm not aware of (very possible)

Thanks,

This is currently not possible. Rooms are store in a global "folder" so their name must be unique.

You could organize your room names to be something like roomid in your own database.

No, you can't have same room names across multiple apps. The way anything is accessed is using the roomName, roomURL and accountURL. Since roomURL = accountURL/roomName , it doesn’t remain unique even if it's under different apps. Room Names per account(not app) is unique.

One way is you can generate roomName is like AppName + commonRoomNameString giving it more uniqueness e.g. app1_room_foo and app2_room_foo.

Hope this helps

Thanks

That's what I figured, but I was hoping I was missing something.

Maybe someday we can have the urls look something like:

accountURL/application/roomName

Thanks for the quick response,
