Thanks for reaching out, Utkarsh. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Thanks — I’m responding to your question about whether LiveKit has a “BlockGuard” feature. I don’t have information that LiveKit offers a product or feature named “BlockGuard.” Could you tell me more about what you mean by BlockGuard or what you want it to do? A few examples of helpful detail: • Do you mean blocking specific users from joining rooms, or blocking certain IPs/CIDR ranges? • Are you looking for a moderation tool (mute/kick/ban), a network-level firewall, or automated abuse detection? • Do you need client-side blocking (in the app), server-side enforcement, or both? • Are you using self-hosted LiveKit or the hosted LiveKit cloud offering? With that info I can: • Confirm which LiveKit capabilities match your need (for example, room permissions, participant disconnect/kick/ban patterns, token-based access control, or network rules) and show how to implement them. • Propose workarounds or integration patterns if an exact “BlockGuard” equivalent isn’t available. • Provide code/config examples tailored to your environment (self-hosted vs cloud). Which of the examples above best matches what you want BlockGuard to do? , with interactive elements

Thanks — you’re asking specifically about the line
from livekit.blockguard import install
. There is no
livekit.blockguard
module or
install
function that I can confirm exists in LiveKit. Could you tell me which of these you mean so I can help you best? • Do you want to prevent specific users from joining a room (kick/ban)? • Do you want to block by IP/CIDR or network-level traffic? • Do you need automated abuse detection or moderation (mute, remove, rate-limit)? • Are you using self-hosted LiveKit or LiveKit Cloud? • Is that import from an example or third‑party library you found, or from your own codebase? What you want to accomplish will determine the recommended approach. For example, LiveKit supports token-based access control and server-side participant management (so you can deny, kick, or mute participants from your server). If you share which type of blocking you need and your deployment type, I’ll outline concrete steps or code snippets to implement it. , with interactive elements

I don't have the answer you're looking for. You could also try asking your question: • in one of the other Slack channels or • to https://deepwiki.com/livekit/livekit_composite which is trained on all LiveKit source code If you find the answer, please post it here to help others!
