Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to do control over single subscriber's mic system. Using Session.signal() method it goes to all user. I need for a specific user..

Hi Pratikraj,

There's a few options for doing this.

1) On the client that you want muted, on their publisher object you call publisher.publishAudio(false). This will make it so that nobody can hear that persons audio. Documentation on the publisher here: http://www.tokbox.com/opentok/api/tools ... isher.html.

2) Alternatively, instead of cutting off the audio at the source (the publisher) you can cut off the audio on the receiving end (the subscriber). In that case, if you don't anybody to hear someone, call subscriber.subscribeToAudio(false) on the subscriber that you do not want to hear. Documentation on the subscriber here: http://www.tokbox.com/opentok/api/tools ... riber.html.

What you could do, is have the person you want muted send a signal() to everybody, then look up the connection id on the signal on all the other clients, find the subscriber for that connection, then call subscribeToAudio(false) on that subscriber.

Hi Jon,
Thanks for quick reply..
As described in session.signal there are 3 properties in it
1 fromconnectionId, 2 target, 3 type..
how to pass connection id via session.signal that we could identify the specific user to mute them..
Is there use of target .. If yes then how to use it..

The SignalEvent has a fromConnection property. So you can use event.fromConnection in your signalHandler.

So the signal method just tells you which user sent the signal. What exactly are you trying to do? Depending on what you are doing the StateManager may be more useful to you than the signal method.
