 So for example, you wouldn'​t be able to access your Vizy from your hotel room later that evening, because the URL will have changed by then.  You can, however, email or text the URL to a friend, and they can access your Vizy.  And as long as they stay connected through their browser, they can access your Vizy indefinitely.  ​ So for example, you wouldn'​t be able to access your Vizy from your hotel room later that evening, because the URL will have changed by then.  You can, however, email or text the URL to a friend, and they can access your Vizy.  And as long as they stay connected through their browser, they can access your Vizy indefinitely.  ​

-If you want to connect to more than one Vizy, you can change the **Subdomain** field from "​javelina"​ (in our example above) to "​vizy1.javelina"​ for the first Vizy and "​vizy2.javelina"​ for the second Vizy, and so on.  You'll also need to copy the key files from your first Vizy into your other Vizy(s). ​ The two key files are  ''​%%/​home/​pi/​vizy/​etc/​remote_key%%''​ and ''​%%/​home/​pi/​vizy/​etc/​remote_key.pub%%''​. ​ This [[wiki:​file_access|page]] will help you get files in and out of your Vizy. +If you want to connect to more than one Vizy, you can change the **Subdomain** field from "​javelina"​ (in our example above) to "​vizy1.javelina"​ for the first Vizy and "​vizy2.javelina"​ for the second Vizy, and so on.  You'll also need to copy the key files from your first Vizy into your other Vizy(s). ​ The two key files are  ''​%%/​home/​pi/​vizy/​etc/​remote_key%%''​ and ''​%%/​home/​pi/​vizy/​etc/​remote_key.pub%%''​. ​ This [[wiki:​file_access|page]] will help you get files into and out of your Vizy.
