Configuration

• Chromecast will need a chromecast ID, make sure to set this up with an application ID: ChromeCast ID
• Web Notifications, you can click the generate to generate your own Web Notification keys.
• Android Notifications we are required to use FireBase for notifications, as an AlarmManager seems like a poor choice even with UDP for notifications. Use this link to create a FireBase ID FireBase - Once the Project is made go to: Project Settings > Service Accounts > Firebase Admin SDK > and click Generate new private key. Take the file it downloads and put that information into the Notifcations Android.

[!WARNING] Changing any of the keys after users have subscribed will make you unable to send push notifications.
