Thanks for reaching out, Rajadurai. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Hi there! I wanted to let you know that the
shutdown_callback
function in LiveKit doesn’t actually provide a return value. These callbacks are really meant to help with cleanup or any tasks you want to handle when shutting down. While they don’t return anything, the framework makes sure they finish up properly within the timeout period (which is usually 60 seconds). If you have any more questions about how this works or need help with something else, feel free to ask—I’m here to help!

Can I give parameters to shutdown_callback functions
t
Absolutely, you can pass parameters to shutdown callback functions, but it does depend on the SDK you’re working with: • Python SDK: Shutdown callbacks can take a single string parameter that explains the shutdown reason. For instance, you might have a callback like
async def my_callback(reason: str):
. • JavaScript/TypeScript SDK: Unfortunately, shutdown callbacks here don’t accept parameters—they’re always called without any arguments. If you’d like, I’m happy to provide more details or examples tailored to your specific SDK. Just let me know!
