In your account panel you will find the two values required by the plugin:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Account ID<\/strong> - the numeric ID of your account (example: 646)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Token<\/strong> - the secret token of your account, used to sign the requests and authenticate your site<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Step-by-step installation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Ensure <code>allow_url_fopen<\/code> and <code>opcache<\/code> are enabled in your <code>php.ini<\/code> configuration file (ask your hosting provider if you are not sure).<\/li>\n<li>Install the plugin: in your WordPress admin go to Plugins &gt; Add New &gt; Upload Plugin, select the plugin zip file and click Install Now. Alternatively, upload the <code>html5-videochat<\/code> folder via FTP into <code>wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin from the Plugins page.<\/li>\n<li>Click <strong>Configure<\/strong>: you will find the link right next to the plugin in the Plugins list, or in the left admin menu under <strong>HTML5-VIDEOCHAT<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Enter your <strong>Account ID<\/strong> and your <strong>Token<\/strong> (copied from your account panel on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.html5-videochat.com\/\">html5-videochat.com<\/a>) and click Save. Until you enter your own values, the plugin shows a warning notice in the dashboard and the chat will not be linked to your account.<\/li>\n<li>Insert the shortcode where you want the chat to appear, in any page or post: <code>[HTML5VIDEOCHAT width=100% height=640px]<\/code><\/li>\n<li>To make the chat fullscreen, use <code>height=fullscreen<\/code>: <code>[HTML5VIDEOCHAT width=100% height=fullscreen]<\/code><\/li>\n<li>(Recommended) The chat can use the gender of your users. Since WordPress does not include a gender field by default, we recommend installing <a href=\"https:\/\/it.wordpress.org\/plugins\/buddypress\/\">BuddyPress<\/a>.
