Description

@punitsu

Current Documentation

/**
 * number of seconds the room should clean up after being empty
 */
emptyTimeout?: number;

Proposed Documentation

  /**
   * The `emptyTimeout` property represents the number of seconds a room should remain open after being empty.
   *
   * Behavior:
   * 1. When creating a room with an `emptyTimeout` of, for example, 10 minutes:
   *    - If no participant joins within 20 seconds of room creation, the room will automatically close.
   *
   * 2. If a participant joins and later disconnects:
   *    - The empty timeout countdown begins only after the last participant disconnects.
   *    - If the last participant disconnects and no new participant joins, the room will continue to exist for the
   *      specified `emptyTimeout` duration (e.g., 10 minutes) before automatically closing.
   *    - If a new participant joins before the empty timeout elapses, the countdown is reset, and the room remains open.
