while using Twilio with LiveKit, here’s a simple way to do it:
1. First, check if the participant is a SIP participant by seeing if participant.kind == ParticipantKind.SIP
.
2. Then, you can get the callSid
from participant.attributes['sip.twilio.callSid']
.
Here’s a quick example to make it clearer:
if (participant.kind === ParticipantKind.SIP) {
const callSid = participant.attributes['sip.twilio.callSid'];
// Use the callSid as you need
console.log(callSid);
}
This approach works smoothly for both inbound and outbound calls when Twilio is set up with LiveKit.busy-breakfast-32623

in LiveKit, here’s a quick guide depending on the programming language you’re using:
• JavaScript/TypeScript: import { ParticipantKind } from '@livekit/client-sdk-js';
• Python: from livekit.rtc import participant_pb2 as participant
(then you can access it as participant.ParticipantKind
)
• Swift: import LiveKit
• Dart/Flutter: import 'package:livekit_client/livekit_client.dart';
• Rust: use livekit::proto::ParticipantKind;

so you can use it to end a call from Twilio, here’s a simple way to do it:
1. First, make sure the participant is a SIP participant by checking participant.kind == ParticipantKind.SIP
.
2. Then, grab the callSid
from the participant’s attributes with participant.attributes['sip.twilio.callSid']
.
3. Finally, print out the callSid
to double-check you’ve got it.
Here’s a quick example you can try:
if participant.kind == ParticipantKind.SIP:
call_sid = participant.attributes.get('sip.twilio.callSid')
if call_sid:
print(f"Call SID: {call_sid}")
else:
print("Call SID not found in participant attributes.")

module is missing, which is causing that error. No worries though—here’s a friendly step-by-step to help you fix it:
1. *Reinstall the LiveKit RTC package:*`pip uninstall livekit-rtc
pip install livekit-rtc`
2. Check if protobuf files are generated: If you’re working from the source code, just run:`cd livekit-rtc
./generate_proto.sh`
3. Verify the package structure: Make sure the participant_pb2.py
file is actually in livekit/rtc/_proto/
. You can quickly check with this snippet:`import os
import livekit.rtc
package_dir = os.path.dirname(livekit.rtc.file)
proto_dir = os.path.join(package_dir, '_proto')
participant_pb2_path = os.path.join(proto_dir, 'participant_pb2.py')
print(f"Proto directory exists: {os.path.exists(proto_dir)}")
print(f"participant_pb2.py exists: {os.path.exists(participant_pb2_path)}")`
4. *Install protobuf dependencies:*`pip install protobuf>=4.21.0`
5. Try using a virtual environment: It’s a clean way to avoid conflicts—just create one and reinstall like this:`python -m venv livekit_env
source livekit_env/bin/activate # On Windows: livekit_env\Scripts\activate
pip install livekit-rtc`

can be found here:
from livekit.rtc import ParticipantKind
then you can access it directly as noted in the earlier example
