Use this endpoint to deafen members of a conference. When deafened, members cannot hear audio from other participants, but they remain connected to the conference and can still be heard by others.
Deaf vs Mute:
  • Deaf: Member cannot hear others (incoming audio blocked)
  • Mute: Others cannot hear the member (outgoing audio blocked)
Authentication required:
  • X-Auth-ID - Your account ID (e.g., {auth_id})
  • X-Auth-Token - Your account Auth Token
  • Content-Type: application/json
Deafened members can still speak and be heard by others. To prevent them from being heard, use the Mute Member endpoint.
The member_id can be a specific member ID, a comma-separated list, or all to deafen all members.
