useParticipantProperty

useParticipantProperty(sessionId: string, propertyPath: string | string[]): participant[propertyPath]

useParticipantProperty returns the requested property belonging to any given session_id.

Use this hook instead of useParticipant when you only need to subscribe to a small subset of participant properties to optimize for React render cycles. useParticipant triggers a re-render when any property in the requested participant object changes. useParticipantProperty only triggers a re-render when the selected property changes.
