#### Example

In this example, we mute the audio of a member as soon as they join the room.
This example assumes that there is a [`RoomSession`][roomsession-41]
already active.

```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);
    await roomSession.listen({
      // Listen for when a member joins the room
      onMemberJoined: async (member) => {
        // Mute member's audio
        console.log(`Muting ${member.id}'s audio`);
        await roomSession.audioMute({ memberId: member.id });
      }
    });
  },
  onRoomEnded: async (roomSession) => {
    console.log("Room ended", roomSession.displayName);
  }
});
```
