Deaf a Member
Prevent conference members from hearing other participants while remaining connected.
This API lets you deaf members of a conference. When deafened, members will not be able to hear audio from other participants, but they remain connected to the conference and can still be heard by others.
Deaf vs Mute:
- • Deaf: Member cannot hear others (incoming audio blocked)
- • Mute: Others cannot hear the member (outgoing audio blocked)
Authentication Required:
- • X-Auth-ID: Your account ID (e.g., {Auth_ID})
- • X-Auth-Token: Your account Auth Token
- • Content-Type: application/json
Note: Deafened members can still speak and be heard by others. To prevent them from being heard, use the Mute Member endpoint.
