The Video Client allows you to monitor video room activity. Access it via the `video` property on a [`SignalWire Client`][signalwire-realtime-client].

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

const client = await SignalWire({ project: "<project-id>", token: "<api-token>" });
const videoClient = client.video;
```

Use [`getRoomSessions`][getroomsessions] to list active rooms, or [`listen`][listen] to subscribe to room events. See [Events][events] for all available events.

## Examples

### Listening for room events

```javascript
await videoClient.listen({
  onRoomStarted: async (roomSession) => {
    console.log("Room started:", roomSession.name);
  },
  onRoomEnded: async (roomSession) => {
    console.log("Room ended:", roomSession.id);
  }
});
```

### Getting active rooms

```javascript
const { roomSessions } = await videoClient.getRoomSessions();
```
