# Participants

To list all the participants in live rooms, you need to execute a **GET** request against the **/rooms/live/participants** endpoint. The result list is grouped by room. The current **session\_duration** of each live room is specified in seconds.

Since potentially there could be thousands of rooms, pagination is supported with **limit**, **order** and **after** arguments. Read about [pagination](/reference/rest-api/pagination.md) to learn the details of it. By default maximum 100 live rooms will be returned in the response.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to retrieve the participants of one concrete live room execute a **GET** request against the **/rooms/:id/live/participants** endpoint
