About

​LiveKit is an open-source platform that empowers developers to build real-time audio, video, and data applications with ultra-low latency and high scalability. Designed around a distributed WebRTC Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU), LiveKit supports a wide range of use cases, from video conferencing and live streaming to AI-driven voice agents and multiplayer gaming.

With modern SDKs available for platforms like JavaScript, Swift, Android, React Native, Flutter, and Unity, LiveKit simplifies the integration of real-time communication features into diverse applications . Its architecture ensures optimal performance, offering features such as adaptive streaming, end-to-end encryption, and selective subscriptions.

LiveKit also provides a cloud-managed solution, LiveKit Cloud, which offers a fully managed, globally distributed infrastructure for hosting large-scale live sessions with 99.99% uptime . This flexibility allows developers to choose between self-hosting or leveraging LiveKit's managed services based on their specific needs.​

Whether you're building a virtual classroom, a collaborative workspace, or an AI-powered voice assistant, LiveKit offers the tools and infrastructure to deliver seamless real-time experiences.
