### getRoomSessionById

* **getRoomSessionById**(`id`): `Promise<{ roomSession: RoomSession }>`

Returns a room session given its id. Only in-progress room sessions are currently returned.

#### Parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  Id of the room session.
</ParamField>

#### Example

In this example, we use the `getRoomSessions` method to get
the currently active room sessions and then use the `getRoomSessionById` method to get the first room session's information.
This example assumes that you have already active [`RoomSession`][roomsession].

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

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

const videoClient = client.video;

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

const room = await videoClient.getRoomSessionById(roomSessions[0].id);

console.log(room.roomSession.displayName)
```

#### Returns

`Promise<{ roomSession: RoomSession }>`

A promise that resolves to a [`RoomSession`][roomsession] object
that can be used to access the room session's information and methods.
