Who can open your Eagle 3D Streaming stream, and when it stops. Five settings, three of which are time limits that sound alike and do different things.
Where: all five settings are on the Common tab of a stream link's configuration, visible without Advanced Options.
All of them live in Edit Config for a stream link, so they apply per configuration rather than per app — one app can have a locked-down link for customers and an open one for your own testing.
Features API › Extend session time: the same from your own page (iframe or Web SDK) or from your Unreal app, with demos and troubleshooting.
| Setting | Limits | Ends a session that is |
|---|---|---|
| Link Expiration | How long the link works | Not running — it stops new sessions starting |
| Max Session Time (minutes) | How long one session may run | Running, however busy the viewer is |
| Log Out Automatically After Inactivity | How long a session may sit idle: Minutes Until Log Out Countdown Starts, then a visible countdown of Log Out Countdown Timer Length. Any input during the countdown cancels it. | Running but untouched |
A link that has expired cannot start anything. A session at its maximum ends even if someone is actively using it. An idle timeout ends a session nobody is touching — which is the one that catches the tab left open over lunch.
With Password Protect Stream enabled, a viewer must enter the password before the application will load. The link alone is not enough.
Set it on the configuration behind the link you share. Anyone with the link and the password gets in, so it protects against a link being forwarded, not against a password being forwarded — for per-person access, put a login in front of it instead.
By default a streaming URL contains your username, the app name and the configuration name. Anonymize URL replaces that structure with an opaque one.
Worth doing when the URL would otherwise tell a customer things you would
rather it did not — an internal project name, how many configurations
you keep, or simply that the app is called
ClientName_Pitch_v3. It does not restrict access; it stops the
address itself being informative.
Anonymise to hide what the link says. Password to stop a forwarded link working. Expiry to stop it working after a date. They are independent, and a shared demo link usually wants all three.
Interface, loading screen, developer settings and the rest.
