$roomName = 'name-of-room';
// The identifier to be used for participant.
$participantName = 'user-name';

// Define the token options.
$tokenOptions = (new AccessTokenOptions())
  ->setIdentity($participantName);

// Define the video grants.
$videoGrant = (new VideoGrant())
  ->setRoomJoin();
  ->setRoomName($roomName);

// Initialize and fetch the JWT Token. 
$token = (new AccessToken('api-key', 'secret-key'))
  ->init($tokenOptions)
  ->setGrant($videoGrant)
  ->toJwt();
