Thanks — I hear you: you’re seeing a lot of silence at the end of egress recordings after the human participant leaves. Here are two effective ways to remove that dead audio and which I recommend. 1) Delete the room when the human participant leaves (recommended) • When your app detects the human participant has disconnected, programmatically delete the LiveKit room. Deleting the room forces the egress participant to leave immediately and stops recording, preventing extra silence at the end. 2) Stop egress explicitly when the session ends • Use the

stop_egress

API from your server as soon as the relevant conversation ends (for example, on participant disconnect or when your app’s session-state moves to “finished”). This ends the recording immediately without deleting the room. Which approach fits you better? If you’d like, tell me how you currently detect participant disconnects (server-side event, webhook, or client-side), and I’ll suggest the exact place in your flow to call room deletion or

stop_egress
