How would i upload the meeting using egress api using gcp

Thanks for reaching out, Aditya. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

i want to upload video, like the meeting recording

req = api.RoomCompositeEgressRequest(
    room_name=self.room_name,
    layout="grid",
    audio_only=False,
    preset=api.EncodingOptionsPreset.H264_720P_30,
    file_outputs=[
        api.EncodedFileOutput(
            file_type=api.EncodedFileType.MP4,
            filepath=filepath,
            s3=api.S3Upload(
                bucket=os.getenv("EGRESS_AWS_BUCKET_NAME"),
                region=os.getenv("EGRESS_AWS_REGION"),
                access_key=os.getenv("EGRESS_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"),
                secret=os.getenv("EGRESS_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"),
            ),
        )
    ],
)

what is the gcp equivalent to this

You're using

file_outputs

with

s3

for MP4. For GCP, replace the

s3

block with a

gcp

block using

GCPUpload

and pass the service account JSON as a string plus the target bucket. Example Python snippet:

import json
from livekit import api

# read your GCP service account key JSON
with open("credentials.json", "r") as f:
    credentials_json = f.read()

req = api.RoomCompositeEgressRequest(
    room_name=self.room_name,
    layout="grid",
    audio_only=False,
    preset=api.EncodingOptionsPreset.H264_720P_30,
    file_outputs=[
        api.EncodedFileOutput(
            file_type=api.EncodedFileType.MP4,
            filepath=filepath,
            gcp=api.GCPUpload(
                credentials=credentials_json,  # full JSON string from service account key
                bucket="my-meetings-bucket",
            ),
        )
    ],
)

Key points: •

credentials

must contain the full service account JSON (string). •

bucket

is the GCS bucket name. • Ensure the service account has Storage Object Creator permissions for the bucket. Would you like the equivalent REST (curl) or Go example as well?

credentials

So that means i need to read the credentials from the file and then stringify it first or is it expecting the file path

The

GCPUpload.credentials

field expects the full service-account JSON content as a string (not a file path). Read the JSON file and pass its contents. Short Python example:

with open("credentials.json", "r") as f:
    credentials_json = f.read()

req = api.RoomCompositeEgressRequest(
    ...,
    file_outputs=[
        api.EncodedFileOutput(
            file_type=api.EncodedFileType.MP4,
            filepath=filepath,
            gcp=api.GCPUpload(
                credentials=credentials_json,
                bucket="my-meetings-bucket",
            ),
        )
    ],
)

Make sure the service account has Storage Object Creator permission on the target bucket. Would you like a curl or Go example too?
