The new Metered dashboard
The Metered dashboard has been redesigned. Nothing changed underneath: your account, apps, TURN credentials, API keys, rooms, recordings and billing are the same, and the REST APIs and SDKs are unchanged. Only the layout, names and grouping of settings are new.
The classic dashboard stays available. You can use whichever you prefer and switch at any time.
Switching between dashboards
- New → classic: click Old dashboard in the header of any page on the new dashboard.
- Classic → new: open dashboard.metered.ca/v2.
How the docs handle both dashboards
Wherever a page shows dashboard screenshots or click-by-click steps, you'll find two tabs. Pick the one that matches what you're using — the docs remember your choice on every page.
- New dashboard
- Classic dashboard
You're reading the docs for the new dashboard. Screenshots and button names on tabbed pages match the redesigned interface.
You're reading the docs for the classic dashboard. Screenshots and button names on tabbed pages match the original interface.
Everything outside the tabs — API calls, code samples, concepts — applies to both.
What's new
- One workspace per app. The workspace switcher at the top of the left navigation replaces the app dropdown.
- Navigation grouped by product: TURN Server & SFU, Realtime Messaging, Video API & SDK, then Developers, Plans & pricing and Account.
- TURN Server is now four pages — Dashboard, Credentials, Analytics (new: bandwidth by project and credential, plus top consumers) and Projects — grouped with Global Cloud SFU and Emergency support.
- Create Credential can pin a region and assign a project for that single credential.
- Passwords are hidden in the credentials table until you click the eye icon; the table also shows data relayed over 30 days, last use, status (including expired credentials) and project.
- Plans & pricing page: your current plans, what's bundled, and the full rate card in one place.
- Emergency support page for the phone-support PIN on paid TURN plans.
- A Top-up balance card with an Auto-reload toggle on the TURN dashboard, so you can see and fix a low balance without leaving the page.
The left navigation groups everything by product:

The Broadcaster composition layout is not in the new dashboard's Composition layout menu yet — if you use it, set it on the classic dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to recreate anything? No. Credentials, keys, rooms, recordings, projects and balances are shared between both dashboards — they are two views of the same account.
Does the API change? No. Endpoints, parameters, secret keys and credential API keys are identical.
Will the classic dashboard be removed? It remains available for the foreseeable future. If that changes, we'll announce it well in advance and these docs will be updated.
