*None*

**Returns**

[`SignalWire.Relay.Calling.StopResult`][signalwire-relay-calling-stopresult] - The result object to interact with.

**Examples**

> Start tapping and stop it if `agent` is not available in 3 seconds.

```csharp
TapAction actionTap = call.TapAsync(
    new CallTap
    {
        Audio = new CallTap.AudioParams
        {
            Direction = CallTap.AudioParams.AudioDirection.both,
        }
    },
    new CallTapDevice
    {
        Type = CallTapDevice.DeviceType.rtp,
        Parameters = new CallTapDevice.RTPParams
        {
            Address = "1.2.3.4",
            Port = 12345,
        }

Thread.Sleep(3000);

if (!agent.IsAvailable)
{
    StopResult resultStop = actionTap.Stop();
}
