Live track permanent URL

Hi, everytime livetrack is started my relatives get an e-mail with a link to follow.

However, this URL is not permanent and always changes... It would be very convenient to have 1 permanent URL to share per account that always displays the last or ongoing activity.

Anyone an idea/how to/workaround to accomplish this please?

i'm trying to create a similar set-up to this: a livestream whilst running with an overlay showing garmin data such as speed, heartrate etc

Right now i've managed to livestream from my phonecamera but I'd like cobine in OBS studio with the livetrack page (with a permanent URL to avoid a new setuo for every workout).

Thanks!

I get the reason why the livetrack link is not static when it is broadcast to social media....but is there a way to have a static url for your activities through your profile login? I wouldnt mind setting up one of out TVs to that page so when I'm out ...my family needs only to glance at it.

Can't believe this is still not feasible/realised... Any updates on this please?

Workaround - I would create an email address just for receiving the livetrack link and then let a server process read that mailbox and parse the emails and put the livetrack link into a web page with an iframe. That web page will then have a static URL. To make it refresh automatically if the link is changed I would probably write the LiveTrack link into a text file and then let a javascript fetch that link from the file and update the iframe and at the same time refresh the page.

Update: Livetrack mail contains button with link - created zapier trigger on these specific mails with action to write plain mail body content to google sheet (always on row 1) and then used len, find, substitute etc to get the correct URL. Will then use this specific cell with the URL within an iFrame...
