# Remove Member

> Remove a user from a group conversation

Removes an active member from a group conversation. The caller must be an active `admin`. Only group conversations support member removal.

The removed user's membership row is soft-deactivated (`isActive: false`, `leftAt` set to now). They are evicted from the real-time room immediately.

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="conversationId" type="string" required>
  The ID of the conversation.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="userId" type="string" required>
  The ID of the user to remove.
</ParamField>

## Response
