Account & Settings

Create an account, keep your session, and configure profile and media preferences before you join a call.

Register and log in

Open your Bedrud instance in the browser.
Register with email and password (and any invite token your host requires).
If email verification is enabled, complete the verify step when the UI prompts you.
Log in with valid credentials. Wrong password shows a clear error and does not create a session.
Log out from the account menu. Protected routes (dashboard, settings, admin) redirect to auth.

Sessions survive a full page refresh while the access token remains valid.

Depending on how the instance is configured, you may also see:

OAuth (Google, GitHub, Twitter, or custom OIDC)
Passkeys (WebAuthn) after you enroll one under Security settings
Guest join for rooms that allow it — no account required (see Joining a Meeting)

Forgot your password? Use Forgot password on the login page, then follow the reset link (SMTP must be configured on the server).

For operator detail (JWT, passkeys, rate limits), see Authentication.

Open Settings → Profile from the dashboard.

Edit name / display fields and save — values reload correctly after a refresh.
Changes appear on the dashboard, meeting tiles, and participant lists.

Still under Settings → Profile:

Rule	Detail
Formats	JPEG, PNG, WebP
Size limit	Under 2 MB
Oversize / bad MIME	Rejected with an error (no crash)
Re-upload	Replaces the previous file

After upload, the preview updates immediately. Confirm the new avatar after a refresh on the dashboard and in a meeting.

Open each panel from the dashboard settings route:

Panel	What it does
Profile	Name and display identity
Audio	Microphone / speaker lists; push-to-talk enable + hold-key capture; saves across reload
Video	Camera device selection; persists across reload
Security	Password change and passkey enrollment surfaces
Appearance	Theme and related UI toggles (when shown)
Experimental	Optional features such as shared whiteboard and YouTube watch party

Preferences are stored for your account (and may sync into the meeting shell when you join). See Audio & Push-to-Talk for in-call PTT behavior.
