Frequently Asked Questions about livekit-egress

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I record a LiveKit room and save it to cloud storage?▼

To record a LiveKit room, you can start a RoomComposite egress request and direct the output to an S3, GCP, or Azure storage bucket. This captures the entire room session as a composite video file.

Can I stream LiveKit rooms to YouTube or Twitch via RTMP?▼

Yes, you can live stream LiveKit rooms to platforms like YouTube or Twitch by configuring an RTMP egress endpoint. This broadcasts the room composite directly to your streaming platform in real time.

What's the best way to capture individual audio or video tracks from a LiveKit room?▼

You can capture individual tracks using Track or TrackComposite egress types. This allows you to isolate specific participant audio or video feeds rather than recording the full room composite.

Does LiveKit egress support recording specific participants instead of the entire room?▼

Yes, the Participant egress type supports recording specific participants within a LiveKit room. This targets only the selected participant's media streams for capture and output.

Can I use a custom web template for compositing LiveKit room recordings?▼

Yes, the Web egress type supports custom web templates for flexible content capture. This allows you to define a custom layout and composite the room content before recording or streaming.

Do I need the livekit-server-sdk to automate room recording?▼

Yes, automating egress tasks requires the livekit-server-sdk and the lk CLI tool. These dependencies provide the necessary APIs and command-line interfaces to manage recording and streaming workflows.
