4. For Custom Client and WS Application(unified client):
   
   

   If you’re not developing a custom client using the VidyoClient Library please skip this section and go to step 4. The following steps are required usage of VidyoClient library.

   
   
   
   • Client API: Send VIDYO_CLIENT_IN_EVENT_SIGN_IN (LogInAsGuest response params)
     
     
   • Client API: Wait for VIDYO_CLIENT_OUT_EVENT_SIGN_IN.
     
     
   • Check param.activeEid field to see if the EID is already set up
     
     
   If the EID is not set up (equal NULL):
   
   
   • Client API: Send VIDYO_CLIENT_IN_EVENT_LICENSE
     
     
   • Client API: Wait for VIDYO_CLIENT_OUT_EVENT_LICENSE
     
     
   • Client API: Wait for VIDYO_CLIENT_OUT_EVENT_SIGN_IN Returns activeEID (which should be active at this point-equal 1)
     
     
   • Client API: Send VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_GET_EID Returns EID string.
     
     
   • WS GuestAPI: LinkEndpointToGuest (guestID, EID)
     
     
     • LinkEndpointToGuest (OK)
       
       
   • Client API: Wait for  VIDYO_CLIENT_OUT_EVENT_LINKED
     
     
   • Client API: Wait for VIDYO_CLIENT_OUT_EVENT_SIGNED_IN
     
     Process complete. Wait a few seconds before joining the conference.
     
     
   • SOAP-Request from Application to VidyoPortal
     
     
     • GuestJoinConference(guestID, pin)
       
       
   Tip: To retrieve EID from you browser please run you client go to http://127.0.0.1:63457/?retrieve=eid
   
   
5. SOAP-Request from Application to VidyoPortal
