Grace Period When Alone: noParticipantsLeftTimeoutSeconds
September 07, 2025•1 min read
We added a new optional parameter to help you avoid premature exits when your bot briefly becomes the only participant in a meeting: noParticipantsLeftTimeoutSeconds
.
What It Does
When the bot detects there are no other participants left, it waits for the configured number of seconds before leaving. This short grace period helps handle momentary drop-offs or reconnections without ending the session.
How To Use
Add noParticipantsLeftTimeoutSeconds
to your join request (defaults to 5 seconds):
{
"platform": "zoom",
"meetingId": "123456789",
"botName": "My Bot",
"noParticipantsLeftTimeoutSeconds": 5
}
This option works alongside noTranscriptTimeoutSeconds
, giving you precise control over when the bot should leave due to silence or being alone.
