Active Speaker Indication - Python

The Active Speaker Indication feature in VideoSDK allows you to identify the participant who is currently the active speaker in a meeting. This feature proves especially valuable in larger meetings or webinars, where numerous participants can make it challenging to identify the active speaker.

Whenever any participant speaks in a meeting, the on_speaker_changed event will trigger, providing the participant ID of the active speaker.

For example, the meeting is running with Alice and Bob. Whenever any of them speaks, on_speaker_changed event will trigger in MeetingEventHandler and return the speaker's participantId.

from videosdk import (
    MeetingConfig,
    VideoSDK,

VIDEOSDK_TOKEN = "<VIDEOSDK_TOKEN>"

class MyMeetingEventHandler(MeetingEventHandler):
  def __init__(self):
      super().__init__()

  def on_speaker_changed(self, data):
    print("speaker changed", data)
def main():
  meeting_config = MeetingConfig(
      meeting_id=MEETING_ID,
      name=NAME,
      mic_enabled=False,
      webcam_enabled=False,
      token=VIDEOSDK_TOKEN,
  )
  meeting = VideoSDK.init_meeting(**meeting_config)
  meeting.add_event_listener(MyMeetingEventHandler())
  meeting.join()
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
    loop.run_forever()
