Is there a way to determine which participants are currently speaking?

[vodemn]

My intent is to determine what users are currently speaking and indicate it to the local user. Is there a way to implement it?

The isSpeaking() method returns the current status for a participant if they are speaking or not.

Let me see if I can find some sample code from a project.

@vodemn - Here's a very simple two participant example written in plain old swift.

Expanding on @j12y reference to the api method;

• You'll need to get a list of the active participants and then loop through them calling the API method to determine which participant is speaking at any given time.
• Once you know which participant is speaking, you can toggle on a layer border border - the example show how.
• In the example above I've hard coded just two participants for simplicity - you can get the list by calling the Active participants api method: https://docs.dolby.io/communications-apis/docs/ios-client-sdk-notificationservice#activeparticipants
• Finally you'll need to create timer to repeatedly call your method that loops through the active participants and toggles the border.
