I’m happy to help you with enabling

auto_egress

in Python! To get this set up, it needs to be configured right when you create the room using the

egress

field in the

CreateRoomRequest

. Unfortunately, it can’t be turned on after the room has already been created. Here’s a friendly example showing how to enable auto-egress for recording all tracks to S3:

from livekit.protocol import room, egress

# Create AutoTrackEgress configuration for S3
auto_track_egress = egress.AutoTrackEgress(
    filepath="bucket-path/{room_name}-{publisher_identity}-{time}",
    s3=egress.S3Upload(
        access_key="your-access-key",
        secret="your-secret",
        bucket="mybucket",
        region="us-east-1",
    )
)

# Create RoomEgress configuration
room_egress = room.RoomEgress(tracks=auto_track_egress)

# Create room with auto_egress enabled
create_room_request = room.CreateRoomRequest(
    name="my-room",
    egress=room_egress
)

# Use LiveKit API to create the room
# (Assuming you have initialized the service client)
# response = room_service.CreateRoom(create_room_request)

If your room is already created, no worries! You can still start recording manually using the Egress service, although this won’t be considered

auto_egress

. Please feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need further help—I’m here for you!
