How can I update a room’s output’s

sync_transcription

setting while the room is active? I know how to set it at the start of the session - but I then want to update it over time.

Thanks for reaching out! I noticed that updating the

sync_transcription

setting for an active room isn’t clearly documented. Could you tell me a bit more about your use case or what you’re hoping to accomplish? Understanding your goal will help me suggest the best possible solutions or alternatives for you. Sources: Text and transcriptions | LiveKit Docs

I have a chat widget where users can communicate with agents. Users can start the room as either chat-only or chat-and-voice. Throughout the room’s life, the user can toggle voice on and off. When voice is on, sync_transcription should be true so that transcription looks natural with their voice. But when voice is off, sync_transcription should be false so that users can see the message ASAP.
