i've stopped seeing the "Monitor your agent at" link. how do i get it back?

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

keep an eye on the agent

To keep an eye on your agent's connection and state, here are some friendly tips you can try out: • Monitor Connection State: Check out the

room.connectionState

property to see if your agent is Connected, Connecting, or Disconnected. It’s a great way to stay in the loop! • Track Agent Presence and State: Watch for

ParticipantConnected

events to know when an agent joins the room. You can also peek at participant attributes like initializing, listening, thinking, or speaking to get a feel for what they’re up to. • Use Built-in Components: Try using hooks like

useVoiceAssistant

to easily access the agent’s current state and tracks — it makes things super convenient! • Implement UI Indicators: Adding some visual cues for connection states or notifications when things change can really help keep everyone informed. Here’s a simple example to show you how you might monitor and display the agent’s connection state:

import { useVoiceAssistant } from "@livekit/components-react";
import { useState, useEffect } from "react";

function AgentStatusMonitor() {
  const { state } = useVoiceAssistant();
  const [connectionState, setConnectionState] = useState(ConnectionState.Disconnected);

  useEffect(() => {
    const handleConnectionStateChanged = (newState) => {
      setConnectionState(newState);
    };

    room.on("connectionStateChanged", handleConnectionStateChanged);
    return () => {
      room.off("connectionStateChanged", handleConnectionStateChanged);
    };
  }, []);

  return (
    
      
      
        Agent State: {state || "Not connected"}
      
    
  );
}

export default AgentStatusMonitor;
