can I use <https://github.com/react-native-webrtc/react-native-webrtc|react-native-webrtc> original with livekit react native client

Thanks for reaching out, Sumeet. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.


You cannot use the original `react-native-webrtc` package with the LiveKit React Native client. Instead, you need to use a specific fork called `@livekit/react-native-webrtc`, which is designed to work with the LiveKit React Native SDK.
To set up the LiveKit React Native client, you should install the following packages together:
```npm install @livekit/react-native @livekit/react-native-webrtc livekit-client```
This fork was created to provide compatibility with LiveKit's requirements and includes necessary WebRTC APIs for React Native environments.
