REST API: Rooms

Overview

overview page anchor

The Programmable Video Rooms resource represents a communications session among multiple endpoints using one of Twilio's Programmable Video SDKs. Connected users (Participants) can share video and audio Tracks with the Room, and receive video and audio Tracks from other Participants in the Room.

The Rooms resource lets you dynamically create and complete Rooms, and configure a Room's topology and behavior. Use this API to set Room properties such as its name, type, TURN configuration, webhook status callback URL, and the maximum number of Participants.

All Programmable Video REST API resources use the following base URL.

https://video.twilio.com

HTTP GET

get-instance page anchor

Returns a single Room resource represented by {RoomNameOrSid} .

Retrieve an in-progress Room instance by UniqueName

get-by-unique-name page anchor

You can retrieve an in-progress Room instance object using the Room's UniqueName, assuming the UniqueName does not contain any reserved characters(link takes you to an external page) that would need to be URL encoded. This makes it easier to interact with Twilio's REST API without having to keep track of Twilio's Room SID identifiers.

Example 3: Create a Room with a 60 minute empty room timeout

example-3-create-a-room-with-a-60-minute-empty-room-timeout page anchor

By default, a Room will end five minutes after the last participant disconnects from the Room. You can configure this to be a different value up to 60 minutes when you create the Room via the REST API. The value is specified in minutes.

The example below demonstrates configuring the Room's empty room timeout value. Note that you can also configure with the Room's unused room timeout value in the same way. The unused room timeout determines how long to wait before ending the Room if no participants join.
