Function: useVAD()

useVAD(options): Record<PeerId, boolean>

Defined in: react-client/src/hooks/useVAD.ts:35

Voice activity detection. Use this hook to check if voice is detected in the audio track for given peer(s).

Remote peer VAD is driven by vadNotification messages from the backend. If the local peer's id is included in peerIds, local VAD is determined client-side by polling the microphone's audio level (see useLocalVAD).

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
options	{ peerIds: readonly PeerId[]; }	Options object.
options.peerIds	readonly PeerId[]	List of peer ids to subscribe to for VAD notifications. Include the local peer's id to also track whether the local user is speaking. Example usage: import { useVAD, type PeerId } from "@fishjam-cloud/react-client"; function WhoIsTalkingComponent({ peerIds }: { peerIds: PeerId[] }) { const peersInfo = useVAD({ peerIds }); const activePeers = (Object.keys(peersInfo) as PeerId[]).filter((peerId) => peersInfo[peerId]); return "Now talking: " + activePeers.join(", "); }

Returns

Record<PeerId, boolean>

A record where each key is a peer id and the boolean value indicates whether voice activity is currently detected for that peer.
