Participants Video on and Audio unmuted data

Zoom Apps
1

I’m looking to either track or request when participants video is turned on and off, and when their audio is unmuted.

Is there any capabilities that will provide that?

This is a host/co-host zoom app only. I’ve successfully built the app and is controlling breakout rooms perfectly, I’m just getting stuck on getting video and audio data for each participant. I’m also tracking hands raised successfully.

Thanks.

Hey @grantw,

To get video on/off events for participants, you’ll need to use the Meeting SDK, which would require a bot participant in the call to capture these. We use the Linux Meeting SDK to capture video on/off events ourselves in our meeting bots.

Specifically, you’ll want to take a look at the OnUserVideoStatusChange callback, which fires whenever a participant’s video status changes.

If you didn’t want to build out bot infrastructure of your own just to get these events, you could also consider exploring Recall.ai. It’s a 3rd party API which allows you to spin up meeting bots in just a few lines of codes to capture participant events in real-time (along with other media like audio, video, and transcripts).

Let me know if you have questions!
