On Premise Deployment

Configure Convai’s Pixel Streaming client to connect with your own backend and streaming servers for on-premise or self-hosted deployments.

Customising Service URLs

By default, the @convai/experience-embed library connects to Convai’s hosted backend services and virtual machines. However, for on-premise development, or enterprise setups, you may want to route traffic through your own backend and virtual machines.

To support this, you can override the default service URLs using the serviceUrls prop (React) or option (Vanilla/TS/CDN).

Available Service URL Overrides

Key	Description
sessionFetch	URL to fetch session data for the experience
pixelStreamBase	Base URL where the Unreal Pixel Streaming server is hosted

React Example

<PixelStreamComponent
  expId="your-experiment-id"
  InitialScreen={<div>Loading...</div>}
  serviceUrls={{
    sessionFetch: 'https://your-backend.example.com/api/session',
    pixelStreamBase: 'https://your-streaming-server.example.com',
  }}
/>

Vanilla JS Example

const pixelStream = new PixelStreamClient({
  container: document.getElementById('pixel-stream-container'),
  expId: 'your-experiment-id',
  serviceUrls: {
    sessionFetch: 'https://your-backend.example.com/api/session',
    pixelStreamBase: 'https://your-streaming-server.example.com',
  }
});

When to Use This

• You're running Pixel Streaming servers locally or on a private cloud.

• You want full control over session management and security.

• You are integrating the experience into a larger enterprise application with custom networking.

This flexibility allows the SDK to be integrated into diverse environments without requiring changes to the core library.
