REMINDER: Cloud and Wowza Video upgrades necessary for Authentication

Hello, just a friendly reminder for the Cloud customers and also those of you that use Wowza Video: We will be updating the API to version 1.9 next week which only uses the JWT auth method. So the old access API keys won’t work in 1.9.

You can still use either API keys or JWT in 1.6 - 1.8 until deprecated.

But we urge you to update as soon as you can. You have time before the other versions are deprecated, but wanted to make sure you allow time to make these changes.



Here is the doc for more info:
