Mevo Universal Links

Mevo's Universal Link function allows app developers to seamlessly integrate live streaming configurations into the Mevo and Mevo Multicam apps. By embedding a properly formatted link, third-party applications can automatically launch Mevo with pre-configured stream settings, eliminating manual setup.

Note: This article is intended for developers building integrations with Mevo. Everyday users do not need to use Universal Links, as Mevo already provides built-in tools for setting up live streams.

1. How to Prepare the Link

   To create a working Universal Link, the following mandatory fields must be included:

   • publishProtocol – The streaming protocol (e.g., RTMP).
   • publishHost – The host server for your stream.
   • publishApplication – The application handling the stream.
   • publishStream – The unique stream ID.
   • publishPort – The port used for the connection.

   An optional field can be included:

   • streamTitle – The title of the stream.

   Note: All special characters must be URL-encoded twice.

   Example: Encoding the Stream Title

   If your stream title is: Sport stream title+

   After URL encoding, it becomes: Sport%20stream%20title%2B

   Now, using this encoded title, your prepared link should look like this:

   
   https://app.mevo.com/configure?
       publishHost=global-live.mevo1.com
       &publishApplication=app
       &publishStream=2c8a2c4e-25ef-ea2e-2c4c-ab1b0cfb7c04
       &publishPort=5222
       &publishProtocol=rtmp
       &streamTitle=Sport%20stream%20title%2B
       

2. Embed the Link into the Mevo Universal Link

   Once your link is prepared, it must be embedded into Mevo’s Universal Link and URL-encoded again to ensure compatibility.

   Universal Link for the Mevo App

   The formatted Universal Link for the Mevo App should follow this structure:

   
   https://app.mevo.com/?
       link=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.mevo.com%2Fconfigure
       %3FpublishHost%3Dglobal-live.mevo1.com
       %26publishApplication%3Dapp
       %26publishStream%3D2c8a2c4e-25ef-ea2e-2c4c-ab1b0cfb7c04
       %26publishPort%3D5222
       %26publishProtocol%3Drtmp
       %26streamTitle%3DSport%2520stream%2520title%252B
       &apn=com.livestream.mevo
       &isi=1502528382
       &ibi=com.mevo.application
       

   Universal Link for the Mevo Multicam App

   If you are using Mevo Multicam, the Universal Link should be structured as follows:

   
   https://multicam.mevo.com/?
       link=https%3A%2F%2Fmulticam.mevo.com%2Fconfigure
       %3FpublishHost%3Dglobal-live.mevo1.com
       %26publishApplication%3Dapp
       %26publishStream%3D2c8a2c4e-25ef-ea2e-2c4c-ab1b0cfb7c04
       %26publishPort%3D5222
       %26publishPort%3D1935
       %26publishProtocol%3Drtmp
       %26streamTitle%3DMevo_event_title
       &apn=com.mevo.multicam
       &isi=1503021034
       &ibi=com.mevo.multicam
       

Key Takeaways

• Double URL encode all parameters before embedding into the Universal Link.
