Embed Parameters

This is legacy documentation. We are no longer onboarding new Gruveo for Developers customers.

This section lists the parameters that can be passed to the Gruveo embed. The clientid parameter is required. Please refer to the Embedding the Widget section for more information.

ParameterDescription
chatSpecifies the behavior of the text chat. The accepted values are:

  • 0 - Disable the text chat functionality in the embed.
  • 1 - Make the chat sidebar closed initially. The user will need to click a controlbar button to open the chat.
  • 2 - Make the chat sidebar open initially. Has no effect for embed widths less than 1000 px.

The default value is 1.

chromelessAllows to specify a chromeless mode for the embed. The accepted values are:

  • 0 - The code input, the room name / Gruveo handle being called, as well as the in-call controls are shown.
  • 1 - The code input, the room name / Gruveo handle being called, as well as the in-call controls (including the recording indicator) are not shown.
  • 2 - The code input and the room name / Gruveo handle being called are not shown. The in-call controls and the recording indicator are shown.

The default value is 0.

clientidYour unique Gruveo API client identifier that you get as part of your API access credentials.
codeSpecifies the room name or Gruveo handle to pre-populate in the embed and makes the code field read-only for the user. For example: mycode123 or @hello
colorSpecifies a solid background color of the start screen. Format: Hexadecimal color code without a #, for example: 63b2de. If not supplied, then Gruveo's default mountains landscape is used for the background.
iosappurlThis parameter defines the App Store URL of the app, if any, that the users will be offered to download when attempting to use the embed on older versions of iOS (< 12.2). If this parameter is not supplied, such users will be shown a generic "your iOS version is not supported" message.
languageSpecifies the language of the embed. Format: ISO 639-1 code, for example: pl

Currently supported values: de, en, es, fr, ja, it, ko, nl, pt, ru, uk, zh. If this parameter is omitted, the embed will try to use the best matching language for each user.
