is it possible to detect when someone starts speaking in a voice channel

I don’t need to know what they are saying but that their mic is active.

Yeah, you can.

client.on('voiceStateUpdate', (oldState, newState) => {
    // Check if the user started speaking
    if (newState.streaming || newState.selfVideo || newState.selfMute || newState.selfDeaf || newState.suppress) {
        console.log(`${newState.member.displayName} started speaking in the voice channel ${newState.channel.name}`);
    }
});

client.on('voiceStateUpdate', (oldState, newState) => {
    // Check if the user started speaking
    if (newState.streaming || newState.selfVideo || newState.selfMute || newState.selfDeaf || newState.suppress) {
        console.log(`${newState.member.displayName} started speaking in the voice channel ${newState.channel.name}`);
    }
});

This would be if they started streaming/ joined channel/ left channel/ moved channels/ muted/ deafened/ or got suppressed doesn’t show if someone has activated their mic Think like when someone lights up cause they are talking that’s what I want

That’s what I thought just wanted to confirm

it is possible if your bot is connected to the given channel, the same way for normal users if you're using @discordjs/voice, <VoiceConnection>.receiver.speaking emits the start and end events for when they start and stop talking
