[QUESTION] How to mute loud speaker output audio in speaker devices?

[tashikrispcall]

Can we directly set device.audio.speakerDevices to undefined to achieve this ? or is there a proper work around ?

Hi @tashikrispcall , thanks for reaching out! Are you trying to mute these sounds? https://www.twilio.com/docs/voice/sdks/javascript/twiliodevice#deviceoptionssounds-properties-and-default-sounds

Or are you trying to mute the audio of the remote party? For example, if Alice calls Bob, are you trying to mute Bob?

Hi @charliesantos , yes, I'm trying to mute the audio of the remote party i.e. if I'm in call with Bob, I'm trying to mute Bob.

There is no mute API for remote party at the moment. However, you can get the remote stream using call.getRemoteStream(). This is a MediaStream object that you can use to mute the audio track. For example

call.getRemoteStream().getAudioTracks().forEach(track => track.enabled = false);

Thanks, I'll try implementing this.
