Key Concepts

To send a command to all participants in a session, call the send() method of the Command object.

VoxeetSDK.command
  .send({payload: 'hello world'})
  .catch((err) => {
    console.error(err);
  });

To receive commands send in a session, add an event listener for the ‘received’ event dispatched by the Command object.

VoxeetSDK.command.on('received', (participant, message) => {
  const dataParsed = JSON.parse(message);
  console.log("Command received, message:", dataParsed.payload)
}
