how do i mute other users on live kit?

To mute other users in LiveKit, you can use the

MutePublishedTrack

method from the server-side API. This requires the track's SID and the participant's identity. Ensure that the "Admins can remotely unmute tracks" option is enabled in your project settings if you plan to unmute them later.

res, err = roomClient.MutePublishedTrack(
    context.Background(),
    &livekit.MuteRoomTrackRequest{
        Room: roomName,
        Identity: identity,
        TrackSid: "track_sid",
        Muted: true,
    }
)

@millions-hair-24956 can i do this on frontend

On the frontend, you can mute a remote participant's audio track by disabling the track. This can be done using the

setEnabled

method on the

RemoteTrackPublication

object. This effectively stops the track from being played back on the client side.

room.on(RoomEvent.TrackSubscribed, (track, publication, participant) => {
  if (track.kind === 'audio') {
    publication.setEnabled(false); // Mute the track
  }
});

@millions-hair-24956 on frontend it will only mute for me? or for participant all other pparticipants will be muted

Muting a track on the frontend using

setEnabled(false)

will only mute the track for you, the local participant. Other participants in the room will still hear the audio unless they also mute the track on their end. Would you like more details on this?
