How to move participant's video to the stage using an API

[mark@avarobotics.com]

I'm developing a webex embedded app, which also uses the webex REST API. I'm looking for a way to programmatically move a particular participant's video to the stage, then sync the stage. Basically I want to automate this:

* click on a participant video menu and choose "Move to stage"
* click on the Layout menus and choose "sync my stage for everyone"

How can I do this programmatically using a webex API?

I presume when you say 'move to stage' you mean a sort of lobby where users wait to be admitted, right?

If so, we don't really have APIs that add participants to a lobby as this is managed by your Site settings directly. You can check out this functioanlity here: Move participants to and from the lobby in Webex Meetings .

Once you have functionality that adds participants to the lobby, we do have APIs that will allow you to admit participants or expel them if needed.

Here they are:

https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/v1/meeting-participants/admit-participants 

Please review and let us know in case of any queries. Thanks.

Hi Raffaele,

No, I'm not asking about the lobby. I'm asking about an API for the specific Webex menu items that say exactly "Move to stage" and "sync my stage for everyone". This is about where a participant's video stream appears in the video layout during a webex meeting.

Ok thanks for clarifying. We don't have that option through API at this time, you can create a new feature request if you wish here: https://ciscocollabcustomer.ideas.aha.io/
