t
Thanks for reaching out, Vjacheslav. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Hey there! If you want to broadcast from OBS Studio via RTMP to LiveKit Cloud, here’s a friendly step-by-step guide to help you out: 1. Set Up OBS Studio: ◦ Make sure OBS Studio is installed on your computer. ◦ Open OBS and go to SettingsStream. ◦ In the Stream tab: ▪︎ Choose Custom as the Service. ▪︎ In the Server field, pop in the RTMP URL you got from your LiveKit Ingress setup. ▪︎ In the Stream Key field, enter the stream key from LiveKit. 1. Configure LiveKit Ingress: ◦ Create an Ingress in your LiveKit project to grab the RTMP URL and stream key you’ll need. You can do this either through the LiveKit API or right in the LiveKit Cloud dashboard. 1. Start Broadcasting: ◦ Once everything’s set, just hit Start Streaming in OBS Studio. ◦ Your stream will start sending to LiveKit via RTMP. 1. Verify the Stream: ◦ Check that OBS shows a successful connection. ◦ Keep an eye on your LiveKit app to make sure the stream is coming through and working smoothly. If you run into any questions or want a hand with any of these steps, just let me know—I’m here to help! Sources: Encoder configuration | LiveKit Docs | Ingress Overview | LiveKit Docs

how to create ingress using api?
t
Hey there! If you want to create an Ingress using the LiveKit API, here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you out: 1. First, set up your Ingress client:
Copy code
const { IngressClient } = require('livekit-server-sdk');

const ingressClient = new IngressClient(
  'your-livekit-host',
  'your-api-key',
  'your-api-secret'
);
2. Next, define the options for creating your Ingress:
Copy code
const createIngressOptions = {
  name: "My Ingress",
  roomName: "my-room",
  participantIdentity: "ingress-participant",
  participantName: "Ingress Participant",
  inputType: livekit.IngressInput.RTMP_INPUT, // RTMP_INPUT = 0
  audio: {
    name: "audio-track",
    source: livekit.TrackSource.MICROPHONE,
    preset: livekit.IngressAudioEncodingPreset.OPUS_STEREO_96KBPS,
  },
  video: {
    name: "video-track",
    source: livekit.TrackSource.CAMERA,
    preset: livekit.IngressVideoEncodingPreset.H264_1080P_30FPS_3_LAYERS,
  }
};
3. Finally, create the Ingress:
Copy code
const ingress = await ingressClient.createIngress(
  livekit.IngressInput.RTMP_INPUT,
  createIngressOptions
);
Here are some key parameters to keep in mind:inputType: This tells LiveKit what kind of Ingress you’re creating (RTMP, WHIP, or URL input). • roomName: The name of the LiveKit room you want to connect to. • participantIdentity: A unique ID for the participant joining the room. • participantName: The display name that will show up for the participant. • audio and video: These let you customize encoding options for your audio and video tracks. If you want to dive deeper, check out the LiveKit Ingress Documentation. And hey, if you have any questions or need a hand, just let me know—I’m here to help!
c
what program to use for api requests?
t
Here are some handy tools and SDKs you can use to make API requests to LiveKit: 1. LiveKit Python SDK: ◦ To get started, just run:
pip install livekit-api
◦ Here’s a quick example:
Copy code
from livekit import api
lkapi = api.LiveKitAPI()
rooms = await lkapi.room.list_rooms(api.proto_room.ListRoomsRequest(names=['test-room']))
1. LiveKit CLI Tool: ◦ This is a command-line interface that makes interacting with LiveKit APIs super straightforward. ◦ For example:
lk token create --api-key $LIVEKIT_API_KEY --api-secret $LIVEKIT_SECRET_KEY --list --valid-for 24h
1. LiveKit Server SDKs:JavaScript: Comes with SIP client and server APIs. ◦ Go: Also includes SIP client and server APIs. ◦ Ruby: Great for room management, egress, and SIP APIs. ◦ Java/Kotlin: Perfect for room management and SIP APIs. Pick the tool or SDK that fits your programming language and what you’re trying to do. And hey, if you want a hand with any specific tool or example, just give me a shout—I’m here to help!

LiveKit CLI Tool: how to write such a query
const ingressClient = new IngressClient(
'your-livekit-host',
'your-api-key',
'your-api-secret'
);
t
Hey there! To create an Ingress using the LiveKit CLI, just follow these simple steps: 1. First, set up your environment variables:
Copy code
export LIVEKIT_URL=<LIVEKIT_HOST_URL>
export LIVEKIT_API_KEY=<YOUR_API_KEY>
export LIVEKIT_API_SECRET=<YOUR_API_SECRET>
2. Next, create a JSON configuration file: ◦ For RTMP/WHIP Input:
Copy code
{
  "input_type": 0, // 0 for RTMP, 1 for WHIP
  "name": "Ingress Name",
  "room_name": "Room Name",
  "participant_identity": "Participant Identity",
  "participant_name": "Participant Name",
  "enable_transcoding": true
}
◦ For URL Input:
Copy code
{
  "input_type": 2, // or "URL_INPUT"
  "name": "Ingress Name",
  "room_name": "Room Name",
  "participant_identity": "Participant Identity",
  "participant_name": "Participant Name",
  "url": "<MEDIA_URL>"
}
1. Finally, run this command to create your Ingress:
lk ingress create ingress.json
A couple of quick notes for you:input_type: Use
0
for RTMP,
1
for WHIP, and
2
for URL input. • enable_transcoding: This is optional in most cases but you'll need it for non-WHIP inputs. Once you run the command, it’ll create the Ingress and give you details like the IngressID, URL, and StreamKey (for RTMP/WHIP) or start pulling media right away (for URL input). If you have any questions or need a hand with anything else, just let me know—I’m here to help!
c
lk ingress create ingress.json here is such a mistake: Using url, api-key, api-secret from environment proto: syntax error (line 2:20): invalid value /
t
It looks like the syntax error could be coming from something in the JSON configuration file or the command you’re using. Would you mind sharing: • The exact content of your JSON file (just make sure to leave out any sensitive info). • The full command you ran with the LiveKit CLI. That way, I can take a closer look and help figure out what’s going on so we can get it sorted out together. Sources: cmd/lk/proto.go | livekit/livekit_ingress.twirp.go
c
{ "input_type": 0, // 0 for RTMP, 1 for WHIP "name": "Ingress_test", "room_name": "Room_test", "participant_identity": "Participant Identity Test", "participant_name": "Participant Name Test", "enable_transcoding": true }
t
Hey there! The JSON file you shared looks mostly good, but I think the hiccup might be due to that inline comment (
// 0 for RTMP, 1 for WHIP
) inside the JSON. JSON doesn’t actually support comments, so that’s probably causing a syntax error. If you could remove that comment and give it another shot, that should do the trick. Your JSON should look like this:
Copy code
{
  "input_type": 0,
  "name": "Ingress_test",
  "room_name": "Room_test",
  "participant_identity": "Participant Identity Test",
  "participant_name": "Participant Name Test",
  "enable_transcoding": true
}
Once you’ve saved the updated file, just run this command again:
Copy code
lk ingress create ingress.json

How can I watch the broadcast now?
t
Hey there! Once you’ve got Ingress set up, here’s how you can watch the broadcast: 1. Make sure the stream is live: ◦ Check that your streaming software (like OBS Studio) is sending data to LiveKit using the Ingress URL and Stream Key. 1. Join as a viewer: ◦ Head over to your app’s watch page. Usually, it’s a URL that looks like
/watch?at=${auth_token}&rt=${connection_details.token}
. ◦ You’ll see the Ingress participant in the room, and the broadcast will be ready for everyone to watch. If you run into any issues setting up the watch page or getting the broadcast going, just give me a shout—I’m here to help!

c
this is what I insert into OBS studio rtmps://streamtest-zpooasec.rtmp.livekit.cloud/x 7qww2Safb2sN which URL should I go to?
t
Hey there! The RTMP URL you shared (`rtmps://streamtest-zpooasec.rtmp.livekit.cloud/x`) is actually for sending your stream to LiveKit. To watch the broadcast, you’ll want to join the LiveKit room where your stream is being sent. Here’s a simple way to watch the broadcast: 1. Join the LiveKit Room: ◦ Jump in using a WebRTC client or your app’s watch page. ◦ The room name is probably what you set up during the Ingress setup (like
Room_test
). 1. Access the Watch Page: ◦ If your app has a watch page, it usually looks like
/watch?at=${auth_token}&rt=${connection_details.token}
. ◦ Make sure you’ve got the right authentication token to get in. If you want, I’m here to help you generate an authentication token or figure out how to access the watch page—just give me a shout! Sources: Ingress Overview | LiveKit Docs
c
help generate authentication token or figure out how to access view page
t
Here’s a simple way to generate an authentication token and access the watch page: 1. Generate an Authentication Token: ◦ Using the LiveKit CLI: `lk token create --api-key <api_key> --api-secret <api_secret> --join --room <room_name> --identity <user_identity>`Just swap out
<api_key>
,
<api_secret>
,
<room_name>
, and
<user_identity>
with your own details. ◦ Programmatically (like in a server-side script): `import { AccessToken } from "livekit-server-sdk"; const token = new AccessToken("your_api_key", "your_api_secret", { identity: "user_identity" }); token.addGrant({ room: "room_name", roomJoin: true }); const jwt = token.toJwt();`This will create a JWT token that lets you join the room you want. 1. Access the Watch Page: ◦ Use the token you generated to join the LiveKit room through your app’s watch page. ◦ The watch page URL usually looks like
/watch?at=${auth_token}&rt=${connection_details.token}
. ◦ Make sure your app’s frontend is ready to accept the token and connect to the LiveKit room smoothly. If you’d like a hand with setting this up or need more details, just give me a shout—I’m here to help!

how to find out user_identity?
t
Hey there! The
user_identity
is basically a unique name for each person joining a LiveKit room. You get to pick it yourself when you create the authentication token. Here's how you can do it: • Using the CLI: `lk token create --room my-room --identity user123 --join`This will make a token for someone with the identity
user123
to hop into the room called
my-room
. • Using the SDK: `from livekit import api token = ( api.AccessToken("your_api_key", "your_api_secret") .with_identity("user123") # Set user_identity .with_grants( api.VideoGrants( room_join=True, room="my-room", ) ) .to_jwt() )`Just swap out
user123
with whatever unique ID you want for the participant. Just a heads up: make sure every participant has their own unique
user_identity
so there aren’t any connection mix-ups. If anything’s unclear or you want to dive deeper, I’m here to help!

t
Great news! The access token you provided is formatted just right and has all the necessary info to join the LiveKit room. Here’s a quick guide on how to use it: 1. Head over to the Watch Page: ◦ Use the token to hop into the LiveKit room through your app’s watch page. ◦ The watch page URL might look something like this: `/watch?at=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...`Just swap out the token in the URL with the one you created. 1. Join the Room: ◦ Make sure your app’s frontend is ready to accept the token and connect to the LiveKit room. ◦ The room name you’ll be joining is
Room_test
, as set in the token. If you’d like a hand with plugging the token into your app or getting to the watch page, just give me a shout—I’m here to help!
c
Does the URL look like this?
t
Hey! The URL you shared (`wss://streamtest-zpooasec.livekit.cloud/watch?at=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...`) looks good for LiveKit. It’s using the
wss://
protocol, which means your WebSocket connection is secure, and it has the authentication token right there as a query parameter. You can go ahead and use this URL to hop onto the watch page and join the LiveKit room. If you run into any hiccups or have questions, just give me a shout—I’m here to help!

How do I go to the viewing page?
t
To check out the viewing page, just open the URL in a web browser or use a WebRTC-compatible client that works with LiveKit. The URL you shared (`wss://streamtest-zpooasec.livekit.cloud/watch?at=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...`) should take you straight to the watch page, as long as your app is set up the right way. If you’re using a custom app, make sure the frontend is set up to handle the
at
(authentication token) parameter and connect to the LiveKit room. And hey, if you want a hand with the setup, just let me know—I’m here to help!

WebRTC-compatible client?
t
Hey there! A WebRTC-compatible client is basically software or an app that supports WebRTC protocols to make real-time communication happen smoothly. For LiveKit, here are some great options you can try out: 1. LiveKit Web SDK: ◦ This lets you build a custom web-based client to watch broadcasts your way. ◦ For example, you can add the
LiveKitRoom
component right into your React app to connect to a room easily. 1. LiveKit React Native SDK: ◦ If you’re working on mobile apps, the
@livekit/react-native
package is your friend for building a WebRTC-compatible client. ◦ Just install these packages to get started:
npm install @livekit/react-native @livekit/react-native-webrtc livekit-client
1. LiveKit Examples: ◦ Want to see some real examples? Check out apps like the React Native Meet on GitHub. If you’d prefer a ready-made client, the LiveKit example apps are a great place to start, or you can build your own with the SDKs.

LiveKit Web SDK how to deploy on server and play WebRTC using java script
t
Hey there! If you're looking to deploy the LiveKit Web SDK on a server and use WebRTC with JavaScript, here’s a friendly step-by-step guide to get you started: 1. Deploy the LiveKit Server: ◦ For development, just run: `livekit-server --dev`This kicks off a development server with some placeholder API keys to play around with. ◦ When you’re ready for production, check out the LiveKit deployment documentation for all the details. 1. Install the LiveKit Client SDK:
npm install livekit-client
2. Connect to the Room:
Copy code
import { Room } from 'livekit-client';

const wsURL = '<ws://your-server-url:7880>'; // Swap this with your actual server URL
const token = 'your-generated-token';     // Use a valid token here

const room = new Room();
await room.connect(wsURL, token);
console.log('Connected to room:', room.name);

// Now, let's publish your local camera and microphone tracks
await room.localParticipant.enableCameraAndMicrophone();
3. Handle Tracks and Events:
Copy code
room.on(RoomEvent.TrackSubscribed, (track, publication, participant) => {
  if (track.kind === Track.Kind.Video || track.kind === Track.Kind.Audio) {
    const element = track.attach();
    document.body.appendChild(element);
  }
});
4. Generate Access Tokens: ◦ Remember, tokens should be created server-side using the LiveKit Server SDK. Here’s a Node.js example:
Copy code
const { Server } = require('livekit-server-sdk');
const server = new Server('your-api-key', 'your-api-secret');

const token = await server.createToken({
  join: true,
  room: 'your-room-name',
  identity: 'user-id',
});
◦ And a quick tip: never hardcode tokens in your client-side code for security reasons. For a full, hands-on example, take a peek at the LiveKit JavaScript Quickstart.

IN_qEyXCzR5sW5H
shows up. If it’s missing, it might have been deleted or maybe it never got created properly. 2. Verify Environment Variables: Double-check that your
LIVEKIT_URL
,
LIVEKIT_API_KEY
, and
LIVEKIT_API_SECRET
are all set correctly and match the project where you created the Ingress. 3. Check for Ingress Status: If the Ingress is inactive or deleted, you might need to create a new one instead of trying to delete it again. If you’re still stuck after this, just give me a shout—I’m here to help!

Hey there! It looks like the WebSocket connection issue could be coming from a few different places. No worries though—let’s walk through some steps together to help you troubleshoot and get things working smoothly: 1. Double-check the WebSocket URL: ◦ Make sure the URL starts with
wss://
and points exactly to your LiveKit server’s WebSocket endpoint. For example, it should look something like
<wss://your-livekit-server/rtc>
. 1. Take a look at your network connectivity: ◦ Try out the LiveKit Connection Test to see if the WebSocket connection is working. ◦ Also, check that your firewall or VPN isn’t blocking the needed ports—those are 7880 for HTTP and 7881 for HTTPS. 1. Make sure your server is set up right: ◦ Confirm your LiveKit server is up and running, and ready to handle WebSocket connections. ◦ Don’t forget to verify that your SSL/TLS certificates are properly configured to support secure
wss://
connections. 1. Check your token and authentication: ◦ Be sure the access token in your WebSocket URL is valid and has all the permissions it needs. 1. Look out for any error messages: ◦ Peek at the browser console or server logs for any errors that might give us clues about what’s going on. If you’re still stuck after trying these, just give me a shout—I’m here to help you figure it out!

Hey there! Let’s work through this WebSocket connection issue together using the URL and token you provided. Here’s a simple checklist to help you troubleshoot: 1. Double-check the WebSocket URL: ◦ Make sure the URL starts with
wss://
for a secure connection. From what I see, your URL (
<wss://streamtest-zpooasec.livekit.cloud>
) looks good! 1. Look at your Network Connectivity: ◦ Sometimes firewalls or network settings can block WebSocket connections—worth giving that a quick look. ◦ You can also try the LiveKit Connection Test to see if everything’s connecting smoothly. 1. Check your Access Token: ◦ Make sure your token is still valid and has the right permissions to join the room. ◦ Also, double-check that it hasn’t expired yet. 1. Peek at the Console Logs: ◦ Open up your browser console or app logs to spot any error messages related to the WebSocket connection. 1. Keep an Eye on the Connection State: ◦ The LiveKit SDK lets you monitor the connection status, which can help pinpoint exactly where things might be going wrong. If you’re still stuck after trying these, just let me know what errors or odd behaviors you’re seeing. I’m here to help you get this sorted out!

Looks like the error is telling us that the token you’re using has expired. In LiveKit, tokens come with an expiration time (the
exp
claim), and once that time passes, the token won’t work anymore. Here’s how you can fix it: 1. Generate a New Token: ◦ Make sure the new token has an expiration time set in the future. ◦ For example, when creating the token, set the
exp
claim to a timestamp that’s a good bit ahead—like an hour from now. 1. Update the Token in Your Application: ◦ Swap out the expired token with the fresh one in your app or WebSocket URL. 1. Double-Check Token Permissions: ◦ Make sure the token has all the permissions needed to join the room and share audio/video. After you update the token, give connecting another shot. And if you want a hand generating a new token or updating things, just let me know—I’m here to help!

It looks like you’re running into the "invalid authorization token" error, which usually means there’s a hiccup with the token you’re using. No worries—here’s a friendly step-by-step to help you fix it: 1. Double-check the Authorization Header: ◦ Make sure your request includes an
Authorization
header formatted like this:
Bearer <your-access-token>
1. Take a Look at the Token: ◦ Try using tools like jwt.io to decode your token and verify its signature. ◦ Confirm that the token is signed with the correct LiveKit API secret. 1. Check the Token’s Claims: ◦ Make sure your token includes all the necessary claims such as
sub
,
iss
,
exp
, and
nbf
. ◦ Also, verify the token hasn’t expired by checking the
exp
claim. 1. Create a Fresh Token: ◦ If needed, generate a new token using the LiveKit CLI with this command:
lk token create --api-key <api_key> --api-secret <api_secret> --identity <participant_id> --room <room_name> --join --valid-for 1h

Hey there! If you want to change how long a token stays valid, you just need to tweak the expiration time (the
exp
claim) when you create the token. Here’s a quick guide to help you out: 1. Using the LiveKit CLI: ◦ Just use the
--valid-for
flag to set how long the token should last. For example, if you want it to be valid for 1 hour, you’d run:
lk token create --api-key <api_key> --api-secret <api_secret> --identity <participant_id> --room <room_name> --join --valid-for 1h
1. Programmatically: ◦ If you’re generating the token in code, just set the
exp
claim to a timestamp further out. For example, in JavaScript:
Copy code
const token = new AccessToken(apiKey, apiSecret, {
  identity: "user123",
  ttl: 3600, // This means the token is valid for 1 hour (in seconds)
});
If you want a hand updating your token generation, just give me a shout—I’m here to help!
Just so you know, the token is set to be valid for 5 minutes by default. But no worries—you can easily change how long it lasts by using the
--valid-for
flag when you create the token. For example, if you want your token to be good for 1 hour (that’s 60 minutes), you’d use:
Copy code
lk token create --api-key APIxKMNps8Qci4w --api-secret VvAVVIeCa0YV8JyueXA2Ykn3z1QRMbLMFWYfwtzuG6SB --join --room Room_test --identity user123456 --valid-for 60
This will give you a token that works for 60 minutes. If you have any questions or need a hand with anything else, just let me know—I’m here to help!
