Token based Voice Chat with EOS

Setting up the Voice Chat

Voice Room Name - The name of the voice room that you want to join. For instance, if you have a game similar to Pubg or Fortnite, where there are 100 players with teams of 4, then you can have 25 voice rooms with 4 players each. This will allow you to have a voice room for each team.

Player Name - The name of the player that you want to join the voice room with. This is the name that will be displayed in the voice room.

Client IP - The IP of the client. You can use 10.0.0.1 as the default value if you don't want to pass the IP. If you pass the IP, EOS will connect you to nearest available voice server.
