Session Information
To create a session, you use the IRTCClient::CreateSession method. To activate the session, you use the IRTCSession::AddParticipant method. A session is initiated via the SIP proxy server if the URL entered in IRTCSession::AddParticipant is e-mail or a telephone number. If the IP address or machine name is entered, a direct communication link is set up and the SIP proxy is not required. For a complete list of the requirements for a SIP session, see the Server Requirements section. For general session information, see General Requirements.
