Hello and thanks for your interest in TokBox. The short answer is that
our video chat embed is not meant to be modified and the titlebar is not
provided as part of the OpenTok API.

Our OpenTok API is focused on building out the functionality regarding
video streaming service. As such, it was not intended to include a few
features that the Call Widget does: moderation, saving calls (for now)
and the invitation interface. These are left for developers to build as
they see fit to provide as much flexibility as possible.

To respond to your questions:

1) ..stream media into OpenTok?

Our API is designed to publish video data captured from a web-cam.
Other video sources aren't supported. Can you provide more information
on how this would be used?

2) Changing the behavior of the toolbar?

Unfortunately, the embed widget is provided as-is and does not offer
customization. Our OpenTok doesn't have this title bar, though we do
provide an example of interfacing with the camera settings:

If you need more information about the embed product, please direct your
questions to the Call Widget developer group. If I've misunderstood
your question, feel free to clarify this and direct this back to the
OpenTok group.

I like the look and feel of title bar in TokBox but need more control.
Im not a programer but i've spent some time with OpenTok and im
curious about the following:

1. Can we stream media (youtube/flickr) into my OpenTok just like
TokBox does?

2. Can we include the Invite and post functions but with more control
of the message presented to the user and destination of the users
click back (I'd like the user to click back to my site rather then
tokbox).
