```from livekit.api import MoveParticipantRequest

await lkapi.room.move_participant(MoveParticipantRequest(
  room="&lt;CURRENT_ROOM_NAME&gt;",
  identity="&lt;PARTICIPANT_ID&gt;",
  destination_room="&lt;NEW_ROOM_NAME&gt;",
))```
How to get the &lt;PARTICIPANT_ID&gt;.Is this phone no.s?

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


Thanks for reaching out! The `&lt;PARTICIPANT_ID&gt;` in LiveKit is actually a system-generated unique identifier (SID) for a participant in a room, and it’s not the same as a phone number.
Let me break it down a bit for you:
• *participant_id*: This is a unique ID created by the system for each participant session.
• *participant_identity*: This is a unique string that developers can set when creating a participant. By default, it might come from a phone number, but you can definitely override it.
If you’re trying to get the `participant_id`, you’ll usually find it in the response when a participant joins or is created. If anything’s unclear or you want me to walk you through it, just let me know—I’m here to help!
