Overview
LiveKit Sandbox is no longer available in LiveKit Cloud. Use Agent Console to test and debug agents, and use the development token server for frontend development and testing.
This page is kept for reference. Sandbox apps can no longer be created, viewed, or managed.
LiveKit Sandboxes were hosted components that helped you prototype your ideas without having to copy and paste code or manage deployments. They were integrated with our CLI, and ready to work with your LiveKit account out of the box. A sandbox could:
- Build and customize an AI voice assistant you could share with others, without building and deploying a frontend.
- Prototype a mobile or web app without having to set up and deploy a backend server with a token endpoint.
- Set up video conferencing rooms with a single click, and share the link with friends and colleagues.
What to use instead
Use one of the supported workflows:
- Use Agent Console to test agents, inspect sessions, and share agent debugging links.
- Use the development token server to generate development tokens for frontend apps without running a backend. Enable it from Settings .
Moving to production
To own the code yourself, start from a template rather than a sandbox. The quickest way to create a new agent project is via the LiveKit CLI:
lk agent init my-agent --template agent-starter-python
The templates at github.com/livekit-examples are simple git repositories with a few conventions around environment variables that make them ready to work with your LiveKit account and the CLI.
