Playlist

A Playlist object allows you to specify a series of media which should be played in sequence. You can then pass the playlist to the methods that support it, for example Call.play.

Example

Creates a playlist for playing, in sequence, a TTS message, 1 second of silence, and an mp3 file.

import { Voice } from "@signalwire/realtime-api";

const playlist = new Voice.Playlist({ volume: 1.0 })
  .add(
    Voice.Playlist.TTS({
      text: "Welcome to SignalWire!",
    })
  )
  .add(Voice.Playlist.Silence({ duration: 1 }))
  .add(
    Voice.Playlist.Audio({
      url: "https://cdn.signalwire.com/default-music/welcome.mp3",
    })
  );
