He all,

Im building a webcam chat like [chaturbate.com](http://chaturbate.com)

i got my broadcaster and subscriber working but i need a phew things in it.

1. i need to be able to show the user when a streamer goes private (some sort of user based check?)

2. i want to validate each user before they get to see a stream , for example when they try to use the rtmp or other view url

How can i best do this?

Hello there and welcome to the Wowza support forum.

For your second question you could use this module:

[How to modify or control a stream by overriding playback](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-override-play-to-control-access)

Not sure about your first question(don’t quite understand the question).

I might suggest you post a request to the[find a consultant forum](http://community.wowza.com/c/-/7) if you find yourself needing assistance setting this all up.

Regards,

Salvadore

Hi,

With regards to RTMP source security and passing credentials via query parameters, I have responded to your other forum post on this [here](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/46669;p=162446#post162446).
