Thanks for reaching out, Rafal. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
It looks like this error is happening because the app can’t find your API key. No worries—let’s get your LiveKit API credentials set up correctly by adding these environment variables: • `LIVEKIT_API_KEY`: Your LiveKit API key • `LIVEKIT_API_SECRET`: Your LiveKit API secret • `LIVEKIT_URL`: The URL of your LiveKit server Here are a few easy ways to set these up: 1. Using a
.env
file:
Just create a
.env
file in your project’s root folder and pop in these lines, swapping out the placeholders with your real info:
Copy code
LIVEKIT_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
LIVEKIT_API_SECRET=your_api_secret_here
LIVEKIT_URL=<wss://your_livekit_server_url>
2. Using a
.env.local
file:
Same idea—create a
.env.local
file in the root and add those variables. 3. Exporting environment variables: Or if you prefer, you can export them directly in your shell like this:
Copy code
export LIVEKIT_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
export LIVEKIT_API_SECRET=your_api_secret_here
export LIVEKIT_URL=<wss://your_livekit_server_url>
Just make sure to replace
your_api_key_here
,
your_api_secret_here
, and
<wss://your_livekit_server_url>
with your actual details. If you want, I’m here to help! Just let me know if you have your LiveKit API credentials handy and how you’re currently setting those environment variables.

the keys ar at .env it looks like there is some error with conection

Since the API keys are in the
.env
file, let’s zoom in on the connection issue together. Could you share a bit more about the error you’re encountering? Specifically: • What exact error message are you seeing? • Is your
LIVEKIT_URL
set to a valid WebSocket URL (like
<wss://your_project.livekit.cloud>
)? • Have you had a chance to check if any network or firewall settings might be blocking the connection? With these details, we’ll be able to get to the bottom of this and find a fix for you. Sources: client/web/.env.example | examples/nextjs/.env.example | client/web/.env.example
