LiveKit is an open‑source, Go‑based server that provides a scalable WebRTC SFU for low‑latency audio, video, and data streams. It powers real‑time voice, video, and AI agent applications across browsers and native clients.
Use cases
- build a multi‑party video conferencing solution
- add real‑time voice chat to a multiplayer game
- enable live streaming of webcam feeds to a web app
- create AI‑driven voice assistants that converse over WebRTC
- integrate real‑time video rooms into a telehealth platform
- provide low‑latency media transport for robotics control panels
When to choose
- you need a production‑grade, horizontally scalable WebRTC infrastructure
- your application requires both media streaming and data channel support
- you want native Go performance with a permissive Apache‑2.0 license
- you plan to run the server on Kubernetes or Docker in the cloud
When to avoid
- you only need simple HTTP file uploads or static video playback
- your stack is limited to languages without a LiveKit client SDK
- you require built‑in recording or transcoding without external services
