Deprecated 0.20.0 useAudioLevel(params) : void
useAudioLevel is deprecated. Use useAudioLevelObserver instead.
TheuseAudioLevel hook takes aMediaStreamTrack (for example, a call participant’s audio track). The second parameter, onVolumeChange, is a callback function, which runs when the track’s volume level changes. With this callback, you can respond to the track’s volume changes in whichever way you want.

​

The MediaStreamTrack to test.
​

Example

import {
  useAudioLevel,
  useAudioTrack,
  useLocalSessionId,
} from '@daily-co/daily-react';
import { useCallback, useRef } from 'react';

export const MicVolumeVisualizer = () => {
  const localSessionId = useLocalSessionId();
  const audioTrack = useAudioTrack(localSessionId);

  const volRef = useRef(null);

  useAudioLevel(
    audioTrack?.persistentTrack,
    useCallback((volume) => {
      // this volume number will be between 0 and 1
      // give it a minimum scale of 0.15 to not completely disappear 👻
      volRef.current.style.transform = `scale(${Math.max(0.15, volume)})`;
    }, [])
  );

  // Your audio track's audio volume visualized in a small circle,
  // whose size changes depending on the volume level
  return (
    <div>
      <div className="vol" ref={volRef} />
      <style jsx>{`
        .vol {
          border: 1px solid black;
          border-radius: 100%;
          height: 32px;
          transition: transform 0.1s ease;
          width: 32px;
