If I send an UpdateRoomMetadataRequest, will the metadata be updated by the time the room is finished and the room_finished webhook is sent?

It seems likely that the metadata update should be reflected by the time the

room_finished

webhook is sent. According to the LiveKit documentation, room metadata updates are broadcast to all participants in the room, and such updates should be synchronized across the system. However, the exact timing of when the

room_finished

webhook is sent relative to the metadata update is not explicitly detailed in the provided sources. Would you like more detailed information on how to ensure the metadata update is processed before the room finishes?

To ensure that the metadata update is processed before the room finishes, you can follow these steps: 1. Send UpdateRoomMetadataRequest: Use the

UpdateRoomMetadata

API to update the room's metadata. This API call should be made well before you expect the room to finish. According to the LiveKit documentation, this update will be broadcast to all participants in the room. 2. Monitor Room Events: Implement event listeners for room metadata changes. You can use the

RoomMetadataChangedEvent

to confirm that the metadata update has been received and processed by the room. This event is part of the LiveKit SDKs and can be used to verify that the metadata has been updated successfully. 3. Check for Synchronization: Ensure that the metadata update is synchronized across all participants. This can be done by checking the metadata on the client side after the update event is received. 4. Timing Considerations: Make sure to allow enough time between the metadata update and the expected room finish time. This ensures that the update is fully processed and synchronized before the

room_finished

webhook is triggered. 5. Webhook Configuration: Ensure that your webhook configuration is set up to receive the

room_finished

event. This will allow you to verify that the metadata update was completed before the room finished. By following these steps, you can increase the likelihood that the metadata update is processed before the room finishes and the

room_finished

webhook is sent. Sources: - https://livekit-users.slack.com/archives/C07FVFM5NA1/p1727257335.091999 👍 0 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.

@millions-hair-24956 It doesn' appear to be the case that the metadata field of the room object is sent in a room_finished webhook event. Is this the case, or am I missing something?

It might be possible that the

room_finished

webhook event does not include the metadata field of the room object. According to the LiveKit webhooks documentation, the

room_finished

event provides information about the room but does not explicitly mention including the room's metadata in the payload. Would you like more detailed information on how to handle room metadata separately or verify its presence in webhook events?
