Waiting Room

When you call meeting.joinRoom(), the user either enters the meeting room directly if allowed, or they are placed in the waiting room if they are a waitlisted participant.

The diagram illustrates the possible room states the local user can be in.


Meeting Room Joined​

If user joins the room successfully, you receive the onMeetingRoomJoinCompleted callback in DyteMeetingRoomEventsListener. You can listen for this callback as follows:

meeting.addMeetingRoomEventsListener(object : DyteMeetingRoomEventsListener {
    override fun onMeetingRoomJoinCompleted() {
        // Local user is in the meeting
    }
})

Waitlisted Participant​

If the user is waitlisted, the onWaitListStatusUpdate callback in DyteSelfEventsListener notifies you of any changes in the user's waitlist status. You can check the waitListStatus to determine their status:

  • WAITING: Local user is in the waiting room.
  • REJECTED: Local user's join room request is rejected by the host.
meeting.addSelfEventsListener(object : DyteSelfEventsListener {
    override fun onWaitListStatusUpdate(waitListStatus: WaitListStatus) {
        when (waitListStatus) {
            WAITING -> {
                // Local user is in the waiting room
            }
            REJECTED -> {
                // Local user's join room request was rejected by the host
            }
            else -> { }
        }
    }
})

Host can use these methods to accept/reject participants.
