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/).
Enabling these features requires configuration changes on the server, and on the DNS records.It is not possible to configure this only from the Peertube interface, and it requires some basic system some basic system admin skills.
