* Configure the YouTube Data API key and default channel ID via settings.

Note on External Services: 
This plugin uses the YouTube iframe API and YouTube Data API to fetch video data from YouTube and display it.

Shortcode Usage:
<ol>
<li>
To embed a live stream from a specific channel: 
 [livestream_embedder channel_id=”CHANNEL_ID”]
Replace <code>CHANNEL_ID</code> with the actual YouTube channel ID (e.g. <code>UCabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx</code>).
</li>
<li>
If you’ve configured a default channel ID in the plugin settings, you can use the shortcode without the <code>channel_id</code> attribute: 
 [livestream_embedder]
</li>
</ol>
How to Find the Channel ID:
<ol>
<li>Go to the YouTube channel’s page.</li>
<li>Look at the URL in your browser’s address bar. The channel ID is the string of characters after the “/channel/” part of the URL.</li>
<li>If the channel uses a custom URL, you can find the channel ID by viewing the page source and searching for “channelId”.</li>
</ol>

Key Features:

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin relies on the third-party service Agora.io to provide real-time video, audio, and messaging functionality, as well as usage analytics for the admin dashboard.
What the service is and what it is used for: 
Agora.io provides the Real-Time Engagement platform required for live streaming (RTC) and real-time chat (RTM). This plugin uses these services to enable broadcasters to stream video/audio and interact with viewers. Additionally, it uses the Agora REST API (specifically <code>https://api.agora.io/dev/v3/usage</code>) to fetch and display streaming usage data in the WordPress admin dashboard.
What data is sent and when: 
* Live Stream (RTC): Real-time video and audio data are transmitted through Agora’s servers whenever a stream is active. 
* Chat Messaging (RTM): Text messages and “like” interactions are sent through Agora’s messaging servers when users communicate in the chat. 
* Usage Analytics (REST API): The plugin sends the Agora project ID and date ranges to <code>api.agora.io</code> to retrieve monthly usage minutes. This occurs when an administrator views the plugin’s dashboard. 
* User Identification: A randomly generated or non-personally identifiable User ID (UID) is sent to manage connection sessions. No personal WordPress user data (like emails or passwords) is sent to Agora.
Terms and Privacy:
