To add LiveKit video conferencing to an Expo React Native app, install the required LiveKit packages, configure your app.json with the expo plugin, and create a development build using expo-dev-client for native WebRTC compatibility.
LiveKit requires a development build because real-time audio and video communication relies on native WebRTC modules. Expo Go does not support these native dependencies, so you must use expo-dev-client or EAS Build to run the application.
Yes, you can use LiveKit with Expo Router. The integration involves initializing the LiveKit SDK, setting up the audio session, and managing camera and microphone permissions within your Expo Router application structure.
LiveKit audio and video in Expo requires camera and microphone access permissions. You must configure these permissions in your app.json or app.config.js to allow real-time communication features to function properly.
You configure app.json for the LiveKit Expo plugin by adding the @livekit/react-native-expo-plugin and @config-plugins/react-native-webrtc to your plugins array to enable native WebRTC module compilation.
You need eas-cli if you are building the LiveKit Expo application in the cloud. You can also create local development builds using npx expo run, but EAS Build provides a streamlined way to compile the native WebRTC requirements.
