### subscribe

* **subscribe**(): `Promise<RoomSessionFullState>` - See [RoomSessionFullState][roomsessionfullstate-2] for more details.

Listens for the events for which you have provided event handlers and returns the [RoomSessionFullState][roomsessionfullstate-2] that contains the full state of the room session.

Note that you don't need to manually call this method to start listening to events, since they are listened automatically.

#### Returns

`Promise<RoomSessionFullState>` - See [RoomSessionFullState][roomsessionfullstate-2] for more details.

#### Example

```typescript
const client = ...  // get a client with createClient()

client.video.on('room.started', async (roomSession) => {
  // attach event listeners...
  // roomSession.on(...)

  // This gives you the full state of the room session!
  const roomSessionState = await roomSession.subscribe()
  console.log('room name:', roomSessionState.name)
  console.log('members:', roomSessionState.members)
}
```
