### getStreams

* **getStreams**(): `Promise<\{ streams: RoomSessionStream \}>`

Obtains a list of active streams for this RoomSession. These are RTMP streams of
the audio/video content of this room, which will be sent to an external party
(e.g., to YouTube).

#### Returns

`Promise<\{ streams: RoomSessionStream \}>` - See [RoomSessionStream][roomsessionstream] for more information.

#### Example

In this example, we wait for a room to start and then start a stream in that room.
We then use `getStreams` to get the list of stream objects. We then loop through
the list of streams and print out the `state` and `id` of each stream.
Afterwards, we stop the stream after 10 seconds. This example assumes that there is a [`RoomSession`][roomsession-41]
already active and that members are joining the room.

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

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

// Access 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);

    roomSession.startStream({
      url: "rtmp://example.com/stream"
    })
    
    await roomSession.listen({
      onStreamStarted: async (stream) => {
        console.log("Stream started", stream.state);

        // get active streams
        const activeStreams = roomSession.getStreams();

        (await activeStreams).streams.forEach((stream) => {
          console.log(`Active Steam: ${stream.id}, ${stream.state}`);
        });

        // Wait 10 seconds and stop the stream

        setTimeout(() => {
          console.log("Stopping stream");
          stream.stop();
        }, 10000);
      },
      onStreamEnded: (stream) => {
        console.log("Stream ended", stream.id, stream.state);
      },
    });
  },
  onRoomEnded: async (roomSession) => {
    console.log("Room ended", roomSession.displayName);
  }
});
