Introduction - Room participants

The data regarding all meeting participants is stored under meeting.participants. Use the methods and events to consume the participants data.

Room participants object​

  • joined: A list that contains all the participants who have joined the meeting.
  • waitlisted: A list that contains all the participants waiting to join the meeting.
  • active: A list that contains all the participants except the local user who are supposed to be on the screen at the moment
  • pinned: A nullable participant object. If any participant is pinned is that participant else it is null.
  • screenshares: A list that contains all the participants who have shared screen in the meeting.
  • broadcastMessage: Broadcasts the message to all participants including self.

Each participant in each of the joined, waitlisted, active and screenshares list is of type DyteMeetingParticipant.

For example, to get all the participants who joined the meeting:

// get all joined participants
val joinedParticipants = meeting.participants.joined;

For example, to get all the active participants in the meeting:

// get all active participants
val joinedParticipants = meeting.participants.active;

Therefore, if you were to make a grid of participants, you'd use the active list, but to display all participants in the meeting you'd use the joined list.

Video update for all participants​

Triggered when the user starts / stops the video using enableVideo or disableVideo

meeting.self.addParticipantEventsListener(object : DyteParticipantEventsListener {
     override fun videoUpdate(videoEnabled: Boolean, participant: DyteMeetingParticipant) {
      super.videoUpdate(videoEnabled, participant)
      if (videoEnabled) {
        // video is enabled, and other participants in room can see local user
      } else {
        // video is disabled, and other participants in room can not see local user.
      }
    }
})

Audio update for all participants​

meeting.self.addParticipantEventsListener(object : DyteParticipantEventsListener {
    override fun audioUpdate(audioEnabled: Boolean, participant: DyteMeetingParticipant) {
      super.audioUpdate(audioEnabled, participant)
      if (audioEnabled) {
        // audio is enabled, and other participants in room can hear local user
      } else {
        // audio is disabled, and other participants in room can not hear local user.
      }
    }
})

Move between pages in paginated mode​

The setPage(pageNumber: Int) method allows you to switch between pages of participants present in the meeting.

// switch to 1st page
meeting.participants.setPage(1)

Host control methods​

The meeting.participants object has host control methods that allow you to disable the audio and video streams of other users in the meeting (given that the user preset has the right permissions).

// mute all participants
meeting.participants.disableAllAudio();

// mute a single participant
val participantToUpdate = meeting.participants.joined.first()
participantToUpdate.disableAudio()

// disable video for all participants
meeting.participants.disableAllVideo();

// disable video for a single participant
val participantToUpdate = meeting.participants.joined.first()
participantToUpdate.disableVideo()

To remove all participants from a meeting, you can call the kickAll() method.

// remove all participants from the meeting
meeting.participants.kickAll();

// remove a single participant
val participantToRemove = meeting.participants.joined.first()
participantToRemove.kick()
