Kitt

LiveKit is an open-source WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) stack that allows developers to incorporate real-time audio and video experiences into their applications. It serves as an alternative to platforms like Twilio Video or Agora and provides a modern WebRTC infrastructure for building live video and audio applications. LiveKit offers a range of features, including speaker detection, web hooks for backend notifications, recordings of rooms and media streams, and the ability to import and export streams from other services and formats. It also includes features like adaptive bitrate, authentication, moderation APIs, prebuilt UI components, and real-time analytics. LiveKit is used by thousands of projects and companies in various use cases, including video conferencing, livestreaming, robotics, and the metaverse. It offers integrations and sample apps for AI voice assistants, livestreaming platforms, video conferencing apps, spatial audio experiences, and gaming applications. With its global mesh network, LiveKit enables developers to scale their applications by hosting 1:1 meetings or interactive live streams with a large number of participants. LiveKit is built on open-source technology and offers both cloud-managed and self-hosted options, allowing developers to seamlessly switch between the two without modifying their code.
