Host and admin tools and controls

Account admins control whether users in their account can use Realtime Media Streams (RTMS) and whether RTMS-enabled apps are automatically started when users join meetings or webinars.

Meeting and webinar hosts control whether participants must request host approval before the RTMS-enabled app can access content.
