Is there a way to test connections to channels on a web demo by account ?

[nitsanasraf]

I know you can test connections with a uid, but is there a way to test connections with a user id string?
what I mean is that here:
https://webdemo.agora.io/basicVideoCall/index.html
you can only test it if your token is being generated with a uid, in my case I generate it with a user account, someone knows any alternative demo to test it ?

by default our sdk is using integer uid, same for tokens. i don't think we provide apis to generate token with string account. where did you see it?

@plutoless In python3 - RtcTokenBuilder :
There are 2 functions , one is buildTokenWithUid
And one is buildTokenWithAccount Which should accept a string instead of a UInt32, which I use:
def buildTokenWithAccount(appId, appCertificate, channelName, account, role, privilegeExpiredTs):

The account Parameter is basically a string User ID isn’t it ?

There is massive confusion in the Agora docs and conflicting requirements between different Agora services over when string UIDs and when Int UIDs can be used. It is frankly a real mess. FOr now be very very sure that you won't need and services limited to Int UIDs if you decide to go for string UIDs.

Thank you, I'm just gonna stick to uint UIDs instead of strings UIDs for now..
