Identify phone caller in Twilio video room

I'm using Twilio Programmable Voice to connect a caller to a Programmable Video Room via the Room verb. How can I get the ParticipantIdentity of the caller on the video side?

I see the phone caller's identity on the video side is their phone number dash some numbers. Alternatively, how can I get the caller's number/identity on the voice side.

Basically, I'm looking to determine who the phone caller is on the video side.

Twilio developer evangelist here.

You can set the identity that comes through for the voice participant by using the participantIdentity attribute on the <Room> element. The identity will then be readable as the participant.identity on the video side.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response>
  <Connect>
    <Room participantIdentity='alice'>RoomName</Room>
  </Connect>
</Response>

Let me know if that helps at all.
