Joining a Call

Any user that receives the call:incoming event can either join, decline, or ignore the call. This page describes how to join with the following method:

• calls.join(call, joinOptions)

This method triggers the call:answered and call:memberUpdate events.

The calls.join() methods will return a Promise<Call> object. Once resolved, the Call object will contain the Twilio Room. Use this room to publish the user's audio and video tracks to all room participants.

Example

client.on('call:incoming', (call) => {
  // call.room will be undefined
  this.currentCall = call;
});
const joinCall = async () => {
  try {
    this.currentCall = await client.calls.join(this.currentCall);
    // this.currentCall.room will be defined
    console.log('Joined call', this.currentCall);
  } catch (e) {
    console.error('Failed to join call');
  }
};
