### Mute a participant

<CodeBlocks>
  ```javascript title="Node.js"
  const { RestClient } = require('@signalwire/compatibility-api')
  const client = RestClient('YourProjectID', 'YourAuthToken', { signalwireSpaceUrl: 'example.signalwire.com' })

  client.conferences('ConferenceSid')
        .participants('CallSid')
        .update({muted: true})
        .then(participant => console.log(participant.callSid))

### Put a participant on hold

In this example, we will place a participant in an active conference on hold and play hold music.

<CodeBlocks>
  ```javascript title="Node.js"
  const { RestClient } = require('@signalwire/compatibility-api')
  const client = RestClient('YourProjectID', 'YourAuthToken', { signalwireSpaceUrl: 'example.signalwire.com' })

  client.conferences('ConferenceSid')
        .participants('CallSid')
        .update({hold: true, holdUrl: 'http://www.your-application.com/hold'})
        .then(participant => console.log(participant.callSid))
        .done();
  ```

  ```csharp
  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using Twilio;
  using Twilio.Rest.Api.V2010.Account.Conference;

  class Program
  {
      static void Main(string[] args)
      {
          TwilioClient.Init("YourProjectID", "YourAuthToken", new Dictionary<string, object> { ["signalwireSpaceUrl"] = "{SPACE}.signalwire.com" });

          var participant = ParticipantResource.Update(
              hold: true,
              holdUrl: new Uri("http://www.your-application.com/hold"),
              pathConferenceSid: "ConferenceSid",
              pathCallSid: "CallSid"
          );

          Console.WriteLine(participant.CallSid);
      }
  }
  ```

  ```python
  from signalwire.rest import Client as signalwire_client

  client = signalwire_client("YourProjectID", "YourAuthToken", signalwire_space_url = 'example.signalwire.com')

  participant = client.conferences('ConferenceSid') \
                      .participants('CallSid') \
                      .update(hold=True, hold_url='http://www.your-application.com/hold')

  print(participant.call_sid)
  ```

  ```ruby
  require 'signalwire/sdk'

  @client = Signalwire::REST::Client.new 'YourProjectID', 'YourAuthToken', signalwire_space_url: "example.signalwire.com"

  participant = @client.conferences('ConferenceSid')
                       .participants('CallSid')
                       .update(hold: true, hold_url: 'http://www.your-application.com/hold')

  puts participant.call_sid
  ```
