Thanks for reaching out, Pavan. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Thanks — I’m responding about expiring a LiveKit room ID or binding a time-based expiry. Quick summary: you cannot directly set an expiry on a Room ID. You can achieve the behavior you want with one of these options: • Set an automatic room close using
empty_timeout
when creating the room (room closes after being empty for that many seconds). Example: create with
emptyTimeout: 60
to close 60s after last participant leaves. • Manually delete the room via the server API when your meeting ends (
DeleteRoom
) — this immediately makes the Room ID unusable. • Restrict join access by issuing access tokens with a short
exp
claim so new joins are blocked after the token expires (this does not disconnect already-connected participants). Which of these do you want help implementing? Tell me: 1. Which SDK/language you’re using (Node, Python, Go, etc.), and 2. Do you prefer automatic close, manual deletion at meeting end, or token-based join restrictions? I’ll provide the exact code/snippets and steps for your chosen approach.
