08/09/2025, 6:30 PMThe error you’re seeing usually means there’s a problem with authentication, probably because the access token is missing or not quite right. Could you share a bit about how you generated the token, like which API key and secret you used? Also, are you sure the permissions for the room and participant are set correctly? I’m here to help you sort this out! Sources: Authentication | LiveKit Docs | Running LiveKit on AWS
