Thanks for reaching out, Aditya. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
To enable auto hangup of a call in LiveKit, you can implement silence detection or use the
delete_room
API to manually end the call for all participants. Auto Hangup via Silence Detection: • Set a timer after the last detected user response. • If silence exceeds a threshold (e.g., 5 seconds), trigger the hangup by deleting the room. • This can be done by running a background task that monitors interaction and calls
delete_room
when the threshold is reached. Here is an example code snippet for auto hangup with silence detection:
Copy code
import asyncio

SILENCE_THRESHOLD = 5  # seconds

async def monitor_interaction(user_last_spoke_time, ctx):
    while True:
        if time.time() - user_last_spoke_time > SILENCE_THRESHOLD:
            await ctx.delete_room()
        await asyncio.sleep(1)
Please ensure to handle exceptions properly when ending calls. This approach allows your application to automatically hang up calls after a period of inactivity. Sources: Agents telephony integration | LiveKit Docs | How to detect and handle silence during calls

give me the complete code to use this with an agent

Hey there! I totally understand wanting to nail down the specifics for your LiveKit agent integration. Could you tell me a bit more about the programming language and environment you're working with? Once I know those details, I'll be able to whip up the perfect code example for auto hangup functionality that fits your exact needs. 😊

I don't have the answer you're looking for. You could also try asking your question: • in one of the other Slack channels or • to https://deepwiki.com/livekit/livekit_composite which is trained on all LiveKit source code If you find the answer, please post it here to help others!
