06/26/2025, 6:36 PMYes, LiveKit's managed WebRTC service can hypothetically handle 100,000 viewers tuning into a video livestream with one broadcaster. LiveKit Cloud is designed to scale for large livestreaming scenarios and supports up to 100,000 simultaneous participants in a single session. If you need to exceed this limit, you can request an increase through your Cloud dashboard.

06/26/2025, 6:37 PMHey there! Great question. Absolutely, LiveKit can handle streaming to a massive audience of up to 100,000 participants in a single room – pretty impressive, right? Our Cloud platform is super smart and automatically creates a distribution mesh (kind of like a CDN) that scales seamlessly as your session grows. No complicated setup needed! And if you ever need to go beyond that 100k limit, just hop into your Cloud dashboard and request an increase. We've got your back! 😊
