  1. participantJoined - Whenever any new participant join the room, participantJoined event will trigger. For example, the room is running with Alice and Bob, then Eve join that room, after that participantJoined event trigger and return the participant object.

  2. participantLeft - Whenever any participant leave/exit the room, participantLeft event will trigger.For example, the room is running with Alice and Bob, then Bob leave that room, after that participantLeft event trigger and return the participant object

  3. speakerChanged - Whenever any participant starts actively speaking in room, speakerChanged event will trigger and return the speaker participantId.

  4. presenterChanged - Whenever any participant present/screenshare their screen/window in room, presenterChanged event will trigger and return the presenter participantId.

  5. streamEnabled - Whenever any participant enabled mic/camera in room, streamEnabled event will trigger and return Stream.

  6. streamDisabled - Whenever any participant disabled mic/camera in room, streamDisabled event will trigger and return Stream.

// Adding event listner
room.on(Events.participantJoined, (Participant participant) {
print("new participant => $participant");
},
);

room.on(Events.participantLeft, (Participant participant) {
print("new participant => $participant");
},
);

room.on(Events.presenterChanged, (activePresenterId) {
print("presenter changed => $activePresenterId");
},
);
