Protection 2: Connection Monitoring

An additional protection of hosting your event on Starstream is that each ticket is valid only for one connection. If a user tries to share his ticket with another attendee, he will get kicked out of his session. This ensure that each viewer has bought a ticket. 1 Ticket = 1 Connection.

Note: This feature checks for connection every 1 minute. Therefore, there could be a 1 minute delay before a user gets kicked out.

For example, if a user wants to share his ticket with his friend that has not paid for the ticket, he will get kicked out and he must buy a ticket.
