is there a way to pull audio tracks in-call without using egress

Thanks for reaching out! To better assist you, could you please share a bit more about what you need when pulling audio tracks in-call? For instance, are you hoping to process the audio in real-time, stream it to another service, or maybe something else? Understanding this will really help me find the best possible options for you.

I wanna be able to store the recording on my side without going through livekit's egress

I'm glad you're exploring ways to store audio recordings locally without using LiveKit's Egress! You can definitely achieve this by leveraging client SDKs to capture and save audio right on the client side. Here are some friendly options to consider: • Swift/iOS SDK: You can use the

LocalAudioTrackRecorder

class to capture audio from a local track and save it as raw data (like PCM). • Python SDK: Feel free to check out the local-audio-python example—you can modify it to save audio data locally using handy libraries like

wave

or

pydub

. • Android SDK: The

VideoFileRenderer

is a great choice to record audio and save it as an MP4 file. • Rust SDK: You might find the

save_to_disk

example useful for capturing and saving audio tracks as WAV files. • Web/JS SDK: Using the

LocalTrackRecorder

class together with the browser's

MediaRecorder

API allows you to record and save audio locally with ease. Each of these methods offers a way to record and store audio locally without depending on LiveKit's Egress service. If you'd like, I'm here to help with more details on any specific SDK or how to implement these—just let me know!
