• `timeStampNs`: A property of

06/05/2025, 10:08 PMI want to determine the timestamps for an agent pipeline conversation with a remote particpant. I want recording the room using egress. Is the timestamp going to be accurate to the egress file?

06/05/2025, 10:08 PMThank you for providing more details. Unfortunately, I couldn't find specific information on whether the timestamps in LiveKit are guaranteed to align accurately with the egress file. To ensure accuracy, you may need to test the setup or provide additional details about your use case so we can explore further options.
If you'd like, I can escalate this to a specialist for a more in-depth review.

06/05/2025, 10:10 PMCurrently, I couldn't locate specific examples or documentation on extracting timestamps from an agent transcript in LiveKit. If you have a particular SDK or tool in mind, I can assist in narrowing down the approach or escalate this to a specialist for further assistance.
Let me know how you'd like to proceed!
