Has anyone developed a method through the API to detect the presence (or lack) of audio? It would be helpful to have a visual indicator when there’s absolutely no sound being transmitted. There are times when a mic will fail, but we just assume that nobody is speaking.

Hi Jason,

Is this request for a particular platform? Just thinking… this should be doable outside the SDK at the OS level - iOS for example&nbsp;[https://github.com/picciano/iOS-Audio-Recoginzer](https://github.com/picciano/iOS-Audio-Recoginzer)
