Can I use LiveKit for only text-based interactions (no audio, no video), and do you think it's recommended?

Thanks for reaching out, Goktug. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Yes, LiveKit can be used for text-based interactions only, without audio or video. To implement this, you can configure the system to enable text input and disable audio output. For example, you can set
audio_enabled=False
in the
RoomOutputOptions
and
text_enabled=True
in the
RoomInputOptions
. This ensures that only text messages are exchanged. Whether this is recommended depends on your specific use case. If your application primarily requires text communication, this setup can be efficient and straightforward. However, if you anticipate needing audio or video in the future, you might want to consider a more flexible configuration. Sources: Text and transcriptions | LiveKit Docs | Tree View: | dse-workbench
