**Description** It looks like most of the SDKs have a mechanism to detect the active speaker change. Is this possible to do via the web sdk? **Which Web Client SDK version?** 1.9.1 ---

Hey @john12, Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. It doesn’t look like the [Web SDK](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web#zoom-web-sdk) does have an event that fires when the active speaker changes. I think this would be a really valuable feature though! If you would like this feature to be considered for a future release, I recommend posting in the #feature-requests category. Thanks, Max ---
