OpenAIRealtimeWebRTC

Transport layer that’s handling the connection between the client and OpenAI’s Realtime API via WebRTC. While this transport layer is designed to be used within a RealtimeSession, it can also be used standalone if you want to have a direct connection to the Realtime API.

Unless you specify a mediaStream or audioElement option, the transport layer will automatically configure the microphone and audio output to be used by the session.

interrupt()

interrupt(): void

Interrupt the current response if one is ongoing and clear the audio buffer so that the agent stops talking.

Returns

void

Implementation of

RealtimeTransportLayer.interrupt

Overrides

OpenAIRealtimeBase.interrupt

mute()

mute(muted): void

Mute or unmute the session.

Parameters
