Getting started guide

This guide covers the basics to connect to LiveKit from a JavaScript app.

Install LiveKit SDK

Install the LiveKit SDK:

yarn add livekit-client

Join a room

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

import { Room } from 'livekit-client';

const wsURL = '<your LiveKit server URL>';
const token = '<generate a 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();
