Thanks for reaching out, David. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Absolutely, you can pause a WebRTC agent session in LiveKit, and I’m here to guide you through the options available: • Audio Input Control: You can use the
setAudioEnabled(False)
method on the session's input to pause the agent from receiving and processing audio. This is a great way to temporarily stop the session from listening. When you’re ready to resume, just call
setAudioEnabled(True)
. • Audio Output Pausing: If you want to manage interruptions while the agent is speaking, the
resume_false_interruption
configuration is really helpful. It pauses the agent’s audio output during false interruptions and then resumes playback after a short timeout. • Scheduling Pausing: For more advanced control, the
AgentActivity.pause()
method pauses the scheduling of new tasks but lets current ones finish. This is often used internally, especially during agent handoffs. For most situations, I’d recommend using
setAudioEnabled(False)
to pause listening during non-verbal moments. If you’d like, I’m happy to walk you through the implementation or answer any other questions you might have!
