Hey there! To update a dispatch rule and get rid of the pin requirement, you’ve got a couple of easy options: 1. Update Specific Fields (Recommended): You can use the

UpdateSIPDispatchRuleFields

API to tweak just the parts you need. For example, set the

pin

field to an empty string or simply leave it out. This way, you remove the pin without messing with the rest of your settings. 2. Replace the Entire Dispatch Rule: Alternatively, use the

UpdateSIPDispatchRule

API to swap out the whole rule with a new one that doesn’t have a pin field. If you want me to walk you through the steps or help with either method, just give me a shout!

Give me an example of the UpdateSIPDispatchRuleFields command

Here's a simple example of how to use the

UpdateSIPDispatchRuleFields

command to remove the pin requirement:

Copy code

{
  "name": "My updated dispatch rule",
  "rule": {
    "dispatchRuleDirect": {
      "roomName": "my-room"
    }
  }
}

By leaving out the

pin

field in this example, the pin requirement gets removed. You can use this JSON setup with the LiveKit CLI or SDKs to update your dispatch rule easily. If you want a hand running this command or have any questions, just give me a shout—I’m here to help!
