Leading Mode
What is Leading Mode for?
Often, when teaching younger children or performing a presentation, it's useful to have the option to control what the other person can or can't do. That's where Leading Mode comes in.

"status": 200,
"httpVersion": "HTTP/2",
"headers": [

"name": "content-type",
"value": "application/json"
}
],
"content": {
"text": "{\"client_url\": \"https://go.room.sh/...\", \"api_base\": \"https://ew2-aa.room.sh/v1/room/uuid\", \"secret\": \"uuid\"}",
"mimeType": "application/json"
}
}
}
