Mute sharing and control

Mute means disabling audio transmission from the local microphone. You can mute or unmute local audio and share your application's mute status with peers. You can also request a specific peer or all peers to mute or unmute their audio.

To mute or unmute local audio, use muteMyAudio().

1-to-1 call​

Request remote audio mute​

You can request a specific peer or all peers to mute or unmute their audio.

  • To request a specific peer to mute or unmute one's own audio in 1-to-1 calls or group calls, use requestPeerMute().
  • To request all peers to mute or unmute their audio in group calls, use requestPeersMute().

Requests for mute are notified to peers through onMuteMyAudioRequestedByPeer.

Note

Whether the peers need to mute or unmute their audio when they get a request is implementation-dependent.

The following examples assume that the peers will mute or unmute their audio according to the request.
