### setHideVideoMuted

* **setHideVideoMuted**(`value`): `Promise<void>`

Show or hide muted videos in the room layout. Members that have been muted via [`videoMute`][video-roomsession-3] will not appear in the video stream, instead of appearing as a mute image, if this setting is enabled.

Muted videos are shown by default.

#### Parameters

<ParamField path="value" type="boolean" required>
  Whether to hide muted videos in the room layout.
</ParamField>

#### Returns

`Promise<void>`

#### Example

In this example, we wait for a room to start and then hide muted videos in the room layout.
If you mute your video, you will not appear in the video stream, instead of appearing as a mute image.
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);

    // Setup listener for when a room is updated
    roomsession.listen({
      onRoomUpdated: async (roomsession) => {
        console.log(`Updated room ${roomsession.displayName} to hide muted videos!`);
      }
    });
      // Hide muted videos in the room layout
      roomsession.setHideVideoMuted(true);
    }
})
```
