Mute All Participants - Python

When hosting a meeting, it's essential for the host to have the capability to mute all the participants at once. This can be useful in various scenarios, such as when the host wants to deliver a presentation or when there is background noise causing distractions. This guide focuses on this very aspect of muting all other participants' microphone.

• To achieve this, iterate over the list of all participants from the meeting class and call the disable_mic method from the participant class.

Setup

from videosdk import Meeting, MeetingConfig, VideoSDK
import asyncio

VIDEOSDK_TOKEN = "VIDEOSDK_TOKEN"
MEETING_ID = "MEETING_ID"
NAME = "NAME"
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

Example

async def mute_all(meeting: Meeting):
    for paricipant in meeting.participants.values():
        print("Participant Mute Called: ", paricipant.display_name)
        paricipant.disable_mic()

async def main():
    meeting_config = MeetingConfig(
        meeting_id=MEETING_ID,
        name=NAME,
        mic_enabled=True,
        webcam_enabled=True,
        token=VIDEOSDK_TOKEN,
    )
    meeting = VideoSDK.init_meeting(**meeting_config)
    # asynchronously join the meeting
    await meeting.async_join()

    print("Muting all participants")
    await mute_all(meeting)
if __name__ == "__main__":
    loop.run_until_complete(main())
    loop.run_forever()

note

The Participant with the capability to mute all other participants' microphones, should have permission allow_mod passed in the token. To know more about permissions visit here.
