LiveKit Community

I am using livekit android sdk, can I connect to the toom with agent before requesting the android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO?

Thanks for reaching out, Кирилл. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.



Yes, you can connect to a LiveKit room using the Android SDK without requesting the `android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO` permission. However, there are some limitations: 
• You can connect to the room without enabling the microphone or audio tracks. For example, you can skip enabling the microphone when connecting:
• If you attempt to create an audio track or enable the microphone without the permission, a `SecurityException` will be thrown.
• You can also explicitly set audio to `false` in the `ConnectOptions` when connecting:
 This allows you to connect to the room without audio capabilities. Let me know if you need further assistance!
