To implement a video conference with Next.js using LiveKit, you need to manage both local and remote participants. Here's a basic guide: 1. Set Up LiveKit SDK: First, ensure you have the LiveKit SDK installed. You can do this by running:
Copy code
yarn add livekit-client @livekit/components-react @livekit/components-styles
2. Create a Token Endpoint: You need a server-side endpoint to generate access tokens for participants. This is typically done using the
livekit-server-sdk
. Here's an example of how to create a token endpoint in Next.js:
Copy code
import { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next';
   import { AccessToken } from 'livekit-server-sdk';

   export default async function handler(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {
     const room = req.query.room as string;
     const username = req.query.username as string;

     if (!room || !username) {
       return res.status(400).json({ error: 'Missing room or username' });
     }

     const apiKey = process.env.LIVEKIT_API_KEY;
     const apiSecret = process.env.LIVEKIT_API_SECRET;
     const token = new AccessToken(apiKey, apiSecret, { identity: username });
     token.addGrant({ room, roomJoin: true, canPublish: true, canSubscribe: true });

     res.status(200).json({ token: await token.toJwt() });
   }
3. Create a Video Conference Page: In your Next.js app, create a page to handle the video conference. Use the
LiveKitRoom
component to manage the room and participants:
Copy code
import { LiveKitRoom, VideoConference } from '@livekit/components-react';
   import '@livekit/components-styles';
   import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';

   export default function VideoConferencePage() {
     const [token, setToken] = useState('');

     useEffect(() => {
       const fetchToken = async () => {
         const response = await fetch(`/api/token?room=myRoom&username=myUser`);
         const data = await response.json();
         setToken(data.token);
       };
       fetchToken();
     }, []);

     if (!token) {
       return <div>Loading...</div>;
     }

     return (
       <LiveKitRoom
         video={true}
         audio={true}
         token={token}
         serverUrl={process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_LIVEKIT_URL}
         data-lk-theme="default"
         style={{ height: '100vh' }}
       >
         <VideoConference />
       </LiveKitRoom>
     );
   }
This setup will allow you to manage both local and remote participants in a LiveKit room. The
LiveKitRoom
component handles the connection to the room, and the
VideoConference
component provides a ready-made UI for video conferencing. Would you like more detailed guidance on any specific part of this setup? Sources: - Next.js 13 Quickstart 👍 0 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.
