Chat Room Memberships

Once a profile joins a room, they are a member of that room until they leave it. Joining a room is useful because the list of room memberships can be maintained per-user and looked up across sessions and devices.

A user does not have to be a member of a room to enter it and send messages.

📘

Use memberships to keep track of which rooms a user wants to return to in future visits.

Get chat user muted status

Using our producer suite website, a producer has the ability to mute a user. Muting a user disables their ability to send messages to the room they were muted in.

import { getChatUserMutedStatus } from '@livelike/javascript'

getChatUserMutedStatus({roomId: "<Chat Room ID>"})
  .then(muted_status => console.log(muted_status))
