JavaScript Quickstart

Install the LiveKit SDK:

Copied!
yarn add livekit-client

Copied!
npm install livekit-client --save

Note that this example hardcodes a token. In a real app, you’ll need your server to generate a token for you.

Copied!
import { Room } from 'livekit-client';

const wsURL = "<wsURL>"
const token = "<token>"

const room = new Room();
await room.connect(wsURL, token);
console.log('connected to room', room.name);

// publish local camera and mic tracks
await room.localParticipant.enableCameraAndMicrophone();

Use our Server SDKs to create a backend server than generates tokens for your app at runtime:

NodeJS

Go

Ruby

Kotlin
