How do I tell if I’m in OpenTok or Unified?
By URL (OpenTok: https://tokbox.com/account/#/ vs Unified: https://dashboard.nexmo.com/) or Dashboard UI differences. See this guide How to recognize if I’m using Vonage Video API Unified Environment or Vonage Video API OpenTok environment?
Do my existing Project API Key and Secret still work?
No. In Unified, you must use Application ID and Private Key instead.
Will my existing Session IDs and Tokens continue to work?
No, you must generate them using Unified credentials. Token format and length may differ, so ensure your system does not impose length limits.
What happens if I’m on a prepaid account and run out of balance?
Video API operations such as session creation will fail when balance is zero or negative. Please refer to What happens if my account balance reaches zero?
Will session IDs or tokens be longer in Unified?
Yes, they may be longer due to Application ID vs Project Key differences. Ensure your application or database supports the increased length.
Where can I find SDK release notes and developer guides?
See Additional Resources in Server SDK migration guide and Client SDK migration guide.
