How do I disable mute the voice agent in a React Native app?

It seems likely that you can mute a voice agent in a React Native app by using the

setMuted

method on the audio track of the agent. According to the LiveKit documentation, you can mute a track by calling the

mute()

method on the

LocalAudioTrack

class. However, for React Native, you might need to use a similar method provided by the SDK you are using. If you need more detailed guidance on implementing this in your specific setup, please let me know.

@millions-hair-24956 I’m trying to figure out where to call mute. Should it be on voiceAssistant or localParticipant or audioTrack? const RoomView = ({ showTranscription, isPaused }: { showTranscription: boolean, isPaused: boolean }) => { const voiceAssistant = useVoiceAssistant(); const { localParticipant } = useLocalParticipant(); const { audioTrack, state } = voiceAssistant; useEffect(() => { console.log(‘isPaused’, isPaused); if (audioTrack?.publication) { // Directly enable/disable the track based on pause state audioTrack.publication.setEnabled(isPaused); } // if (localParticipant && audioTrack) { // const message = { // type: “mute_control”, // mute: isPaused // }; // console.log(‘Sending mute control message:’, message); // localParticipant.publishData( // new TextEncoder().encode(JSON.stringify(message)) // ); // } }, [isPaused, localParticipant, audioTrack]); return ( <View style={styles.container}> {audioTrack ? ( <> {/* <View style={{ position: ‘absolute’, width: ’100%’, height: ‘100%’, opacity: showTranscription ? 1 : 0, zIndex: showTranscription ? 1 : 0 }}> <TranscriptionTile agentAudioTrack={audioTrack} accentColor=“#007AFF” /> </View> */} <View style={{ position: ‘absolute’, width: ’100%’, height: ‘100%’, opacity: showTranscription ? 0 : 1, zIndex: showTranscription ? 0 : 1 }}> <View style={styles.visualizerContainer}> <BarVisualizer state={state} trackRef={audioTrack} style={{ width: ‘100%’, height: 200, }} /> </View> </View> </> ) : ( <Text>Waiting for audio tracks...</Text> )} </View> ); }; <LiveKitRoom serverUrl={roomConfig.url} token={roomConfig.token} connect={true} options={{ adaptiveStream: { pixelDensity: ‘screen’ }, }} audio={true} video={false} > <View style={{ flex: 1, position: ‘relative’ }}> <RoomView showTranscription={showTranscription} isPaused={isPaused} /> <CallModeBar onPause={handlePause} onHangUp={handleHangUp} onSettings={handleSettingsToggle} onSuggestions={handleSuggestedReplies} isPaused={isPaused} /> </View> </LiveKitRoom>

To mute the voice agent in your React Native app, you should call the

setEnabled

method on the

audioTrack.publication

as you have done in your

useEffect

hook. This approach directly controls the audio track's enabled state based on the

isPaused

prop. If you want to send a mute control message to other participants or components, you can use the

localParticipant.publishData

method to broadcast a message indicating the mute state. This is useful if you need to synchronize the mute state across different parts of your application or with other participants. Would you like more detailed guidance on implementing this or any other aspect of your setup?

@millions-hair-24956 How would you mute with audioTrack.publication?

To mute an audio track using

audioTrack.publication

, you can set the

muted

property to

true

. This will stop the track from sending audio data to the server. Here's a basic example:

if (audioTrack?.publication) {
  audioTrack.publication.muted = true; // Mute the track
}

This approach directly modifies the

muted

state of the track publication. If you need more detailed guidance or have additional questions, feel free to ask.
