What is LiveKit?
LiveKit - the perfect solution for incorporating live video and audio functionalities into your platform. Easily create and expand features such as interactive live streaming, video calls, in-game communication, and robotics teleoperations using our user-friendly APIs. With LiveKit sessions supporting up to 100K simultaneous users and providing in-depth analytics and telemetry, you'll have all the tools you need to succeed.
LiveKit: the modern, open source, end-to-end WebRTC platform for real-time video and audio features. Developed by a team who initially built Watercooler, LiveKit quickly gained popularity and became the fastest growing WebRTC repo on GitHub. With a media server and SDKs in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android), developers can easily incorporate LiveKit into any browser, desktop, or mobile app. However, the team noticed that some developers struggled with managing their own media infrastructure, which sparked the creation of LiveKit Cloud. This service, operated by the LiveKit team, offers a comprehensive solution for building, deploying, and scaling real-time video and audio features with a custom orchestration layer for increased scalability. And the best part? Switching between self-hosted LiveKit and LiveKit Cloud requires no changes to the code. Featuring a generous free tier, a pay-as-you-go model, and detailed analytics and telemetry, LiveKit Cloud makes it easier for developers to focus on their product while still having access to a top-of-the-line WebRTC platform.
