# Outputs: Server Events

Server Events are messages sent from the Deepgram server to the client over the WebSocket connection during a voice agent interaction. These events provide real-time updates about the conversation's status, including user and agent actions, as well as any processing that's occurring.

## List of Server Events

- [`Welcome`](/guides/self-hosted-deployments-3-voice-agent-welcome-message): Confirms that the WebSocket has opened successfully.
- [`Settings Applied`](/guides/self-hosted-deployments-3-voice-agent-setting-applied-message): Confirms that the configuration settings have been applied.
- [`Conversation Text`](/guides/self-hosted-deployments-3-voice-agent-conversation-text): Provides the text of what was spoken by either the user or the agent.
- [`User Started Speaking`](/guides/self-hosted-deployments-3-voice-agent-user-started-speaking): Notifies that the user has begun speaking.
- [`Agent Thinking`](/guides/self-hosted-deployments-3-voice-agent-agent-thinking): Informs the client that the agent is processing information.
- [`Function Call Request`](/guides/self-hosted-deployments-3-voice-agent-function-call-request): Sent when the agent needs to make a function call.
- [`Function Call Response`](/guides/self-hosted-deployments-3-voice-agent-function-call-response): Sent to provide information about a function call.
- [`Function Call Cancelled`](/guides/self-hosted-deployments-3-voice-agent-function-call-cancelled): Sent when a function call the client already received is cancelled because the user started speaking again, either inside the speculative window or after the turn was confirmed.
- [`PromptUpdated` / `SpeakUpdated` / `ThinkUpdated`](/guides/self-hosted-deployments-3-voice-agent-acknowledgements): Server confirms that an `Update*` message has been applied.
- [`Agent Audio Done`](/guides/self-hosted-deployments-3-voice-agent-agent-audio-done): Indicates that the server has finished sending the final audio segment to the client.
- [`Error` / `Warning`](/guides/self-hosted-deployments-3-voice-agent-errors-warnings): Server reports a fatal error (`Error`) or non-fatal issue (`Warning`).
- [`Latency Report`](/guides/self-hosted-deployments-3-voice-agent-latency-report): Provides a detailed STT, LLM, and TTS latency breakdown for each turn.

Each of these events serves a specific purpose in managing the flow of the conversation and keeping the client informed about the state of the interaction. They allow for a dynamic and responsive experience when using Deepgram's Voice Agent API.
