This documentation use an anonymous account to connect the bridge to the chat.But since the livechat v10.1.0, there is a new way to generate long term authentication token, that allows to connect using your account.This is used for [OBS docks](/peertube-plugin-livechat/documentation/user/obs).Using this feature for other purposes is not documented and not officially supported yet.If you want to use it anyway, you can request a token by calling then `/plugins/livechat/router/api/auth/tokens` endpoint.To get needed headers and request body, just check what happens when you generate a new token for OBS docks.
This chat module is based on the XMPP protocol, also known as Jabber.It is therefore possible to connect to the chats using [XMPP client software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMPP#Clients).This can for example be useful to facilitate moderation operations.
For the user documentation associated with these features, please refer to the [user documentation page](/peertube-plugin-livechat/documentation/user/xmpp_clients/).
