After deploying your Communication resource, select **Go to resource** to view the endpoint and connection string under **Settings** -> **Keys** tab, and then follow [Access TURN relays](/azure/communication-services/quickstarts/relay-token) to generate the relay token with the endpoint and connection string filled.
