Audio and video call service provider
To support audio and video calls, Unblu relies on call service providers. The Collaboration Server must be configured to connect to one of the supported services.
Data security
The personally identifiable information (PII) exposed to the call service provider depends on the provider you use and the specifics of the integration. For more information, refer to the articles for the different call service providers (CSP):

TURN server
To support universal co-browsing, server-based document co-browsing, and screen sharing, Unblu requires a connection to a TURN server.
A TURN server is a standard mechanism for creating such connections between endpoints that are each behind their own firewall. It does so by providing a common location external to the two communicating parties to which each can establish an outbound connection. The TURN server then provides a bridge creating the end-to-end connection.
In universal co-browsing and server-based document co-browsing, the TURN server is used to provide a video streaming connection between the Rendering Service on the one hand and the agent and visitor clients on the other.
The recommended approach is to use the Unblu Cloud TURN server service.
Data security
All video traffic related to universal co-browsing and server-based document co-browsing traverses the TURN server. However, all data is always encrypted.
Archiving
Universal co-browsing, server-based document co-browsing, and screen sharing sessions are ephemeral. They’re only archived if you configure conversation recording.
