### getMembers

* **getMembers**(): `Promise`\<\{ `members:` [`RoomSessionMember[]`](/docs/server-sdk/v4/node/reference/video/room-session-member) }>

Returns a list of members currently in the room.

#### Returns

`Promise`\<\{ `members:` [`RoomSessionMemberEntity[]`](/docs/server-sdk/v4/node/reference/video/room-session-member) }>

A promise that resolves to an object containing the list of [`RoomSessionMembers`][roomsessionmembers] in the room.

#### Example

In this example, we wait for a room to start and then get the members in that room.
This example assumes that there is a [`RoomSession`][roomsession-41]
already active and that members are joining the room.

```js
import { SignalWire } from "@signalwire/realtime-api";

// Initialize the SignalWire client
const client = await SignalWire({ project: "ProjectID Here", token: "Token Here" })

// Access the video client from the main client
const videoClient = client.video;

// Setup listener for when a room starts
await videoClient.listen({
  onRoomStarted: async (roomsession) => {
    console.log("Room started", roomsession.displayName);
    // get all members in the room
    const members = await roomsession.getMembers();

    // log the members names
    members.members.forEach((member) => console.log(member.name));
  }
})
```
