Thanks — I understand your agent isn't joining the room with a Next.js front end, LiveKit Cloud, and a local agent. Here are focused places to check and next steps to gather useful debug info. Where to check first • Local agent process/terminal: look for connection/auth errors and "registered worker" messages. • Increase agent log verbosity: set

LIVEKIT_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG

or run with debug flag to see detailed errors. • LiveKit Cloud logs: run

lk agent logs

or

lk agent logs --id <agent-id>

to view deployed agent logs. • Agent Console (LiveKit Cloud dashboard): open the session/agent view to see realtime connection status, events, audio, and latency. • Agent Observability (Sessions → select session → “Agent insights”): check transcripts, trace timing, and chronological logs for failures. • Authentication/env vars: verify

LIVEKIT_URL

,

LIVEKIT_API_KEY

, and

LIVEKIT_API_SECRET

are correct and tokens aren’t returning 401s. • Dispatch/config: confirm

agent_name

and dispatch settings match the room and that dispatch requests reach the agent. Targeted questions to narrow down cause • Do you see any errors in the local agent terminal or

lk agent logs

? If so, what are the exact error messages? • Does the Agent Console show the agent attempting to connect or any failed connection attempts? • Are there 401/permission errors in logs? Are env vars

LIVEKIT_URL

,

LIVEKIT_API_KEY

,

LIVEKIT_API_SECRET

set for both local agent and deployment? • Are you using explicit dispatch (agent name) or generic routing? Which agent name/room ID are you sending? • Can your local agent reach LiveKit Cloud (no firewall/NAT blocking)? Can you share a short excerpt of the relevant logs (errors only)? If you share one or two error lines from the agent logs and which dispatch method you use, I’ll give precise next steps to fix it.
