### getPlaybacks

* **getPlaybacks**(): `Promise`\<\{ `playbacks:` [`RoomSessionPlayback`][roomsessionplayback-12] }>

Obtains a list of playbacks for the current room session.

#### Returns

`Promise`\<\{ `playbacks:` [`RoomSessionPlayback`][roomsessionplayback-12] }>

A promise that resolves to an object containing the list of [`RoomSessionPlayback`][roomsessionplayback-12] objects.

#### Example

In this example, we wait for a room to start and then start a playback in that room.
When a second member joins the roomSession, we use `getPlaybacks` to get the
list of playback objects. We then loop through the list of playbacks and print
out the `state`, `url`, and `id` of each playback. 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);

    // play wait music
    await roomSession.play({
      url: "https://cdn.signalwire.com/default-music/welcome.mp3",
      listen: {
        onStarted: () => console.log("Playback started"),
        onUpdated: (playback) => console.log("Playback updated", playback.state),
        onEnded: () => console.log("Playback ended")
      }
    }).onStarted();

    // Setup listener for when a member joins
    await roomSession.listen({
      onMemberJoined: async (member) => {
        console.log("Member joined", member.name);        
        
        // get roomSessions playbacks
        let roomPlaybacks = await roomSession.getPlaybacks();

        // loop through playbacks and print out state, url, and id
        roomPlaybacks.playbacks.forEach((playback) => {
          console.log(playback.state, playback.url, playback.id);
      });
    },
      onMemberLeft: (member) => {
        console.log("Member left", member.name);
      },
    });
  },
  onRoomEnded: async (roomSession) => {
    console.log("Room ended", roomSession.displayName);
  }
});
