Pass user info when linking between rooms or worlds

[broehl]

When linking between worlds (e.g. a portal from JanusXR to Hubs or vice-versa), it would be good to pass things like the username and the url of their avatar as parameters. Something like...

https://hubs.mozilla.com/FPh767F/meetup?username=Bernie&avatar=some_avatar_url.glb

You could also pass the user's chosen audio devices, and whether to use the VR headset if present.

Hey @broehl - do #2273 and #2509 cover this?

Those two capture what we can do for this on the Hubs side until there are more standards in place for how other web apps could work.

Hi Liv

Well, one of those two is also from me. :-)

2237 suggests passing device information 2509 suggests passing username 2606 suggests passing avatar URL as well as username

So the three are related, but cover different things.

A combined proposal would be for the URL to include the following parameters:

username=Bernie avatar=http://someserver.com/avatars/bighead.glb device=phone mic=default-1 speaker=usb-11 vr=no mute=false
