Hello, is there a reason why the React component <https://docs.livekit.io/reference/components/react/component/livekitroom/|LiveKitRoom>, the onConnected prop doesn't return any data? I would have found it useful to have returned information about the `Room` . I realise I can utilise <https://docs.livekit.io/reference/components/react/component/livekitroom/|useLiveKitRoom> to get information but it just results in more code / feels less efficient.

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


Hey there! Just a quick heads-up: the `onConnected` prop in the `LiveKitRoom` React component doesn’t actually return any data, like `Room` info. It’s simply a callback that runs when the room connection is up and running, but it doesn’t pass along any parameters or return values.
If you’re looking to grab `Room` details as soon as the connection happens, a great way is to use the `useLiveKitRoom` hook or directly tap into the `Room` instance. Just give me a shout if you want some tips on how to do this smoothly—I’m here to help!
