Waiting Room Management

Remote participants who need approval wait in the waiting room before joining the meeting. If the local user has the "Accept Requests" permission (meeting.permissions.host.canAcceptRequests) enabled in their preset, they can access the waiting list and manage participant entry.

Accessing Waitlisted Participants​

You can access the list of waitlisted participants via the meeting.participants.waitlisted property.

// Get the list of waitlisted participants
final waitlistedParticipants = meeting.participants.waitlisted;

if (meeting.permissions.waitingRoom.canAcceptRequests) {
  // User can manage waiting room
  showWaitingRoomControls(waitlistedParticipants);
} else {
  // User cannot manage waiting room
  hideWaitingRoomControls();
}

Note: If the local user lacks the necessary permission, the waitlisted property will return an empty list.

Accepting Requests​

To accept a waiting room request, use the acceptWaitlistedParticipant() method on meeting.participants object:

// Accept the first waitlisted participant
final waitlistedParticipant = meeting.participants.waitlisted[0];
meeting.participants.acceptWaitlistedParticipant(waitlistedParticipant);

Rejecting Requests​

To deny a waiting room request, use the rejectWaitlistedParticipant() method on meeting.participants object:

// Reject a waitlisted participant
final waitlistedParticipant = meeting.participants.waitlisted[0];
meeting.participants.rejectWaitlistedParticipant(waitlistedParticipant);

Waiting Room Events​

To listen to waiting room changes, implement the RtkWaitlistEventListener interface.

class WaitlistStatusNotifier extends RtkWaitlistEventListener {
  @override
  void onWaitListParticipantJoined(RtkRemoteParticipant participant) {
    // Called when a new participant joins the waiting room
  }

  @override
  void onWaitListParticipantAccepted(RtkRemoteParticipant participant) {
    // Called when a waitlisted participant is accepted into the meeting
  }

  @override
  void onWaitListParticipantRejected(RtkRemoteParticipant participant) {
    // Called when a waitlisted participant is denied entry into the meeting
  }

  @override
  void onWaitListParticipantClosed(RtkRemoteParticipant participant) {
    // Called when a waitlisted participant leaves the waiting room
  }
}

// Register the listener
final listener = WaitlistStatusNotifier()
meeting.addWaitlistEventListener(listener);
