- Maximum of 200 characters
- Use only the following characters:
Alphanumerics | 0-9, A-Z, a-z | 0x30-0x39, 0x41-0x5A, 0x61-0x7A |
|---|---|---|
| Exclamation mark | ' ! ' | 0x21 |
| Open parenthesis | ' ( ' | 0x28 |
| Close parenthesis | ' ) ' | 0x29 |
| Plus | ' + ' | 0x2B |
| Minus | ' - ' | 0x2D |
| Period | ' . ' | 0x2E |
| Equals | ' = ' | 0x3D |
| Underscore | ' _ ' | 0x5F |
| Tilde | ' ~ ' | 0x7E |
| Percent | ' % ' | 0x7F |
Note
You can only use the percent sign for URL encoding. Follow the percent sign by two uppercase hex characters.

For the Vivox Unity SDK and the Vivox Unreal SDK, the naming displayed in this example only applies during access token generation. When you construct a ChannelId, you are expected to use only the part of the channel name and not for the name argument. The ChannelId function returns a full channel URI that is suitable for token generation, which includes the channel type, issuer, dot, and other URI components.
