RoomSessionMember

Represents a member of a room session. You receive instances of this type by listening to room events, for example on a RoomSession object.

info

The state of RoomSessionMember objects, for example member.visible, is immutable. When you receive instances of RoomSessionMember from event listeners, the state of the member always refers to that specific point in time and remains fixed for the whole lifetime of the object.

Example

Getting a RoomSessionMember instance when a user joins a RoomSession:

roomSession.on("member.joined", (e) => {
console.log("RoomSessionMember:", e.member);
});

Returns

Promise<void>

Example

await member.audioUnmute();

remove

remove(): Promise<void>

Removes this member from the room.

Returns

Promise<void>

Example

await member.remove();

setDeaf

setDeaf(value): Promise<void>

valuebooleanWhether to mute the audio.

Returns

Promise<void>

Example

await member.setDeaf(true);

setInputSensitivity

setInputSensitivity(params): Promise<void>

Sets the input level at which the participant is identified as currently speaking.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
paramsObject-
params.valuenumberDesired sensitivity from 0 (lowest sensitivity, essentially muted) to 100 (highest sensitivity). The default value is 30.

Returns

Promise<void>

Example

await member.setInputSensitivity({ value: 80 });

setInputVolume

setInputVolume(params): Promise<void>

Sets the input volume for the member (e.g., the microphone input level).

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
paramsObject

Parameters

NameType
paramsObject
params.volumenumber

Returns

Promise<void>


setOutputVolume

setOutputVolume(params): Promise<void>

Sets the output volume for the member (e.g., the speaker output level).

Parameters

Example

await member.setOutputVolume({ volume: -10 });

setRaisedHand

setRaisedHand(params): Promise<void>

NameType
paramsObject
params.volumenumber

Returns

Promise<void>
