LiveKit Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• WebRTC for the Curious

  Another open-source SFU I've had great experience with is Livekit[0]. Great docs, modern, easy to deploy (it's a golang binary), and supports a number of egress options too if you want to record the media during a stream to an external system. With their cloud product they've also built a really cool 'mesh-based' SFU-CDN that allows peers to connect to an SFU closest to them and have their media broadcast to other... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Anyone have experience with LiveKit for voice and if it's better than the webRTC?

  I love the service and would recommend everyone dump the webRTC integrated service and make the switch. It was quick and easy to make the changes with livekit.io setup providing everything I needed to get the custom service set up and running. No command line config is needed and only set up on my GM side of Foundry VTT. My users only have to select their player token the first time they log on as usual, and... Source: 5 months ago

• STUNner Kubernetes media gateway for WebRTC

  This release ships lots of new features to the already comprehensive set of them.

• What is the easiest way to get voice and video?

  Install the LiveKit module (https://foundryvtt.com/packages/avclient-livekit). Then register for the free LiveKit tier (https://livekit.io/) with 50GB/month (that's probably enough for 4 people at least 8 times a month for 3 hours from my experience). Easy to use, good quality, we had no issues so far. Source: 11 months ago

• I want to build a site similar to Omegle for my school. Which backend technologies should I use and how to implement it?

  No idea if this is the right way but videochat backend with livekit.io has been a pretty straight forward experience. Most features you talked about you have to build yourself though. The server just provides the video/audio streams and room logic afaik. Source: over 1 year ago

• Audon: Open-Source and Self Hosted Mastodon Spaces (Twitter Spaces Clone)

  It appears that the audio broadcasting is delegated to a proprietary product: https://livekit.io/ Is there any way to host this with only open source software? - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Concert - My submission for MongoDB Hackathon on DEV

  Concert is a Free and Open-source alternative to Clubhouse, Twitter Spaces, and the likes. It is powered under the hood by the LiveKit Selective Forwarding Unit, which is also open-source technology. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: FFmpeg real-time desktop streaming

  What latency are you trying to do? Will the professor being communicating with the students while doing this? Will the students all have the same bandwidth, or will you want multiple renditions (low, med, high quality levels)? If you want AV1 you will not be able to use RTMP. The protocol is orphaned/deprecated, so avoid if possible! If I was building it this is what I would do, and my reasoning. * For capture +... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• A Blueprint for Session Based Applications in Laravel

  While many streaming platforms and APIs are available, as this article is all on the open-source side, we recommend staying with open-source WebRTC. LiveKit is an open-source platform for live audio and video. It works by creating rooms in which participants can join and then publish video and audio tracks. Other participants can subscribe to tracks published in the room and stream the track to an HTML video and... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

  Hope you don't mind my shameless plug, but you should also check out https://livekit.io/. I'm working on the android SDK at the moment, and we're an open source SDK aiming to be a developer friendly out of the box WebRTC solution. Source: about 2 years ago

• Introducing LiveKit - a WebRTC video conferencing server in Go

  We are LiveKit (David, David, and Russ). We've been working on an open source project that lets you run your own WebRTC SFU instead of having to rely on hosted providers like Agora or Twilio. I'd love to get feedback from the Go community on Reddit. Source: almost 3 years ago
