How to use Drovio's Command Line Interface

Commands can be sent either before the Drovio app or a session is started or during a session

From a command prompt (or terminal), [install-directory]/drovio-gui[.exe] --command="a_command"

invite?email=str&type=[email, url, file]&[audio-only, screen]&filepath=[path]

if type=email, the email field is mandatory. Does the same action as clicking on the envelope icon, entering an email address and clicking on start session (will send an email with a web invite link). Eg: drovio-gui.exe --command="invite?type=email&email=email@example.com"

if type=url, copies a web invite link to the clipboard. Eg: drovio-gui.exe --command="invite?url"

if type=file, the filepath field is mandatory. Will write an invite link to a file. Eg: drovio-gui.exe --command="invite?file&filepath=D:\\link.txt"

adding audio-only will start a session with no screen being shared while adding screen will share the primary screen

add?email=str

Add a new contact to the list using the email address (equivalent to entering an email on the search bar that isn't in your contact list and clicking on invite). Eg: drovio-gui.exe --command="add?email=email@example.com"

join?uid=str&invite=str

disable-input?keyboard&mouse&none

drovio-gui.exe --command="disable-input?keyboard" will prevent guests from being able to interact with your machine using their keyboard

drovio-gui.exe --command="disable-input?keyboard&mouse" will disable keyboard and mouse at the same time

drovio-gui.exe --command="disable-input?none" will restore to the default (both inputs accepted)
