## Click to Call
Direct links, rooms, and per-room branding
Allows a user to `join` the room as a `user1`
- [http://localhost:8000/join?user=user1](http://localhost:8000/join?user=user1) (dev)
- [https://cme.mirotalk.com/join?user=user1](https://cme.mirotalk.com/join?user=user1) (prod)
Lets the `user2 join` the room and initiate a `call` to the `user1`
- [http://localhost:8000/join?user=user2&call=user1](http://localhost:8000/join?user=user2&call=user1) (dev)
- [https://cme.mirotalk.com/join?user=user2&call=user1](https://cme.mirotalk.com/join?user=user2&call=user1) (prod)
### Rooms
By default everyone joins the same shared `Public` room. You can optionally add a `room` parameter to group users into separate rooms (e.g. `Support`, `Reception`). Users only see and can call others **in the same room**.
Join a specific room as `user1`
- [http://localhost:8000/join?user=user1&room=Support](http://localhost:8000/join?user=user1&room=Support) (dev)
- [https://cme.mirotalk.com/join?user=user1&room=Support](https://cme.mirotalk.com/join?user=user1&room=Support) (prod)
Let `user2` join the **same** room and `call` the `user1`
- [http://localhost:8000/join?user=user2&call=user1&room=Support](http://localhost:8000/join?user=user2&call=user1&room=Support) (dev)
- [https://cme.mirotalk.com/join?user=user2&call=user1&room=Support](https://cme.mirotalk.com/join?user=user2&call=user1&room=Support) (prod)
> [!NOTE]
> The `call` target must be in the same `room` as the caller. If `room` is omitted, users join the default `Public` room.
You can explore a `widget` example that demonstrates this functionality [here](./integration/widget.html).
#### Per-room branding (optional)
Give each room its own name, subtitle, theme color, or GitHub visibility. Uncomment and edit the `rooms` map in your `public/config.js` (created from [`public/config.template.js`](./public/config.template.js)). Rooms without an entry keep the default look. Visual only — not a security feature.
#### MiroTalk app switcher (optional)
Set `appSwitcher.show: true` in your `public/config.js` to add a MiroTalk apps menu (SFU, P2P, C2C, BRO, CME, Cloud) to the home top bar. Use `domain`, `apps`, `urls`, and `docsUrl` to customize the links; it is hidden by default.

## Webhooks
Get notified of call lifecycle events (`user.joined`, `user.left`, `call.started`, `call.ended` with duration) in real time for external integrations. Enable it in your `.env`:
```shell
WEBHOOK_ENABLED=true
WEBHOOK_URL='http://localhost:9099/webhooks/call-me'
WEBHOOK_SECRET='your-shared-secret' # optional, enables HMAC-SHA256 request signing
```
A ready-to-run example receiver and the full event reference (payloads, signature verification) live in [`webhook/`](./webhook/README.md). Run it in parallel with `Call-Me` to watch events live:
```shell
node webhook/server.js
```
