Remote Connect is a free registration-based onboarding service for testing and low-friction setup. It can register or log in a VideoWhisper contact, create/select a free streaming server account, import WebRTC/RTMP/HLS/DASH configuration, and push this site's stream, notify, Webcam App login, and restream URLs so the plugin can be tested without manual server configuration.
Data sent to the service can include the plugin identifier, WordPress site URL/domain, administrator-entered contact name/email, registration form answers, confirmation PINs, selected account token, and generated stream/notification/login/restream URLs needed for automated configuration.
Using Remote Connect is optional. Administrators can instead enter compatible streaming server settings manually or configure a separate compatible CRM/streaming service URL.

常见问题:
Which languages are included?
The plugin includes these translations: Romanian (ro_RO), Spanish (es_ES), German (de_DE), French (fr_FR), Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR), Japanese (ja), Italian (it_IT), Dutch (nl_NL), Polish (pl_PL), Turkish (tr_TR) and Arabic (ar). WordPress selects the site language for visitors and each user’s chosen language for the dashboard. WordPress.org language packs take precedence when installed. Translation disclaimer: translations are provided as is. They were created with machine assistance and may contain inaccuracies, so please review them for accuracy before relying on them for your audience. Corrections and new languages are welcome through the support channels.
How can I get support?
Consult VideoWhisper for clarifications, issue reports, free consultations, and paid services (turnkey platform setup, streaming hosting, installation, custom development).
What streaming server do I need?
You need a streaming server that supports RTMP/HLS. Options include the open-source VideoWhisper WebRTC Server, Wowza Streaming Engine, or a managed VideoWhisper hosting plan. A free account is available for development and testing.
Can I use this with OBS or other desktop encoders?
Yes. The plugin provides RTMP credentials (server URL, stream key) that work with OBS, XSplit, Wirecast, and any RTMP-compatible encoder. Mobile apps like Larix Broadcaster (iOS/Android) are also supported.
Does it work on mobile devices?
Yes. HTML5 HLS/MPEG-DASH delivery is automatically used for mobile browsers. The WebRTC App interface works on modern mobile browsers that support WebRTC.
How can I report security bugs?
Report security bugs through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team helps validate, triage, and handle security vulnerabilities. Report a security vulnerability. For an account already connected through Remote Connect, an administrator visit after upgrading automatically sends this site's generated callback URLs and account credential to the configured CRM Remote Connect settings/push endpoints (default https://consult.videowhisper.com). This maintains streaming login and source-inventory callbacks. Failed setup retries no more than hourly on admin visits; the relevant settings section provides status, retry and provider instructions. Private restream URLs are sent only when the CRM advertises private_callback_push support; otherwise the notice requests a provider update/manual configuration. It does not rotate the provider's streaming account token. No new account is registered by this migration.
更新日志:
7.3.13
- Translations: make frontend text, AJAX/REST error messages, requirements pages, the restream player, the schedule player and the schedule editor translatable, with plural-aware messages and translator notes. Add Romanian, Italian, Japanese, Polish and Turkish and refresh the Spanish, German, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch and Arabic translations (11 languages, machine-assisted; WordPress.org language packs take precedence).
- Fix: the LIVE badge and thumbnail logic keeps working when the LIVE label is translated.
- Developer: refreshed translation template (.pot) with translator comments.
- Fix: channel management shortcode now loads settings with defaults merged, so channel removal checks work on sites with unsaved settings and no undefined-setting warnings appear.
- Translations: make interface text translatable across the channel management, IP camera, restream, scheduler, HTML5 Videochat and WebcamApp screens; load the plugin text domain; bundled Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese translations (WordPress.org language packs take precedence when available).
- Security: channel removal in the channel management page now verifies that the requested post is a channel owned by the current user (or deletable by capability) and requires a channel-specific nonce, preventing authenticated users from trashing other content and cross-site request forgery. Reported by Patchstack.
- HTML5 Videochat 2026.10.17: refresh socket identity on private/session changes, ignore stale renewal results, preserve selected collaboration streams use the authenticated session peer name and stop automatic retry loops after session rejection.
- Fix: pass the authenticated session to HTML5 playback panels in playback, audio, two-way and collaboration layouts so peer PIN renewal can complete.
- Setup: manual Update Settings applies this plugin’s callbacks even after another plugin/site was selected. Sync Account imports account settings first; automatic updates keep conflict protection. Show retrieved/imported/pushed setting names or counts.
- Security setup: automatically migrate callback URLs for connected accounts on an administrator visit and after account import. Show normal status in the relevant settings sections and warnings only for setup failures or required actions.
- Security: protect restream sources with a private callback key, enforce guest-channel ownership and channel-specific update nonces; replace browser account tokens with short-lived peer PINs. Reconfigure the private restreamURL and server loginURL after upgrading.
- Fix: renew session-bound HTML5 peer PINs before each connection/reconnect, including after the initial five-minute PIN expires.
- Fix: return newly generated stream PINs as strings for strict streaming-server validation.
- Security: Reject non-positive and out-of-range HTML5 Videochat tip amounts before they reach a wallet.
- Security: Enforce debit and credit directions for live-streaming wallet transactions, including legacy HTML-chat tips.
- Security: Prevent page caches from reusing per-session HTML5 Videochat configuration.
- Fix: Use the public WordPress AJAX URL for HTML5 Videochat sessions, including anonymous viewers on sites with a separate admin directory.
- Fix: Preserve the HTML5 Videochat session key after login so authenticated requests remain valid.
- Fix: Generate the JavaScript bundle without a broken license-notice reference.
- Security: HTML5 Videochat app sessions now use per-session secrets, WordPress account binding, and AJAX nonces.
- Security: Tip recipients are resolved from the room's authorized performers instead of a client request.
