I want to have timestamp of each conversation item.

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


To include timestamps for each conversation item in LiveKit, you can use the following methods:
• The `ChatMessage` structure includes a `timestamp` field.
• The `ChatEntry` component can display timestamps and allows you to show or hide them using the `hideTimestamp` prop.
Timestamps are displayed in two formats:
• Full time style (shown in the title attribute).
• Short time style (shown in the UI).
Here is an example of how to use the `ChatEntry` component:
The timestamp will be displayed, and users can hover over the message to see the full time.
