Leave or End Meeting - Android

A participant can leave the meeting at any time.

This guide shows how to leave or end a VideoSDK meeting.

1. Leave - By using leave() function, only that participant leaves the meeting, and the meeting continues for the other participants.
2. End - By using end() function, meeting will end for each and every participant. So, use this function according to your use cases.

Leave And End Meeting

Both methods are suspend functions. Call them from a coroutine, such as lifecycleScope.launch (from androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx), and catch the VideoSDKException they throw when a call is refused or fails.

  btnLeave!!.setOnClickListener { _: View? ->
    lifecycleScope.launch {
      try {
        meeting!!.leave()
      } catch (e: VideoSDKException) {
        Log.e("VideoSDK", "leave() failed: ${e.code} ${e.name}")
      }
    }
  }

  btnEnd!!.setOnClickListener { _: View? ->
    lifecycleScope.launch {
      try {
        meeting!!.end()
      } catch (e: VideoSDKException) {
        Log.e("VideoSDK", "end() failed: ${e.code} ${e.name}")
      }
    }
  }

caution

Don't launch leave() with lifecycleScope from onDestroy(). That scope is already cancelled there, so the call never runs.
