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


Just so you know, the default empty timeout value in LiveKit is set to 300 seconds (5 minutes). This means a room will stay open for that amount of time if no one joins. But don’t worry—you can easily change this when you create a room by setting the `empty_timeout` parameter to whatever works best for you.
