Detailed Description

Represents a user-provided video track sourced from the local device.

LocalVideoTrack is used to publish camera video (or any custom video source) to a LiveKit room. It wraps a platform-specific video source and exposes simple controls such as mute() and unmute().

Typical usage:

auto source = std::make_shared<VideoSource>(1280, 720); auto track = LocalVideoTrack::createLocalVideoTrack("cam", source); room->localParticipant()->publishTrack(track); // Capture frames on the video thread via source, not via the track.

Muting a local video track stops transmitting video to the room, but the underlying source may continue capturing depending on platform behavior.

The track name provided during creation is visible to remote participants and can be used for debugging or UI display.

Member Function Documentation

◆ createLocalVideoTrack()

static std::shared_ptr< LocalVideoTrack > livekit::LocalVideoTrack::createLocalVideoTrack	(	const std::string &	name,
		const std::shared_ptr< VideoSource > &	source
	)

static

Creates a new local video track backed by the given VideoSource.

Parameters

name	Human-readable name for the track. This may appear to remote participants and in analytics/debug logs.
source	The video source that produces video frames for this track. The caller retains ownership and should use this source directly for frame capture.

Returns: A shared pointer to the newly constructed LocalVideoTrack.

◆ mute()

void livekit::LocalVideoTrack::mute ( )

Mutes the video track.

A muted track stops sending video to the room, but the track remains published and can be unmuted later without renegotiation.

◆ publication()

std::shared_ptr< LocalTrackPublication > livekit::LocalVideoTrack::publication ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns the publication that owns this track, or nullptr if the track is not published.

◆ setPublication()

void livekit::LocalVideoTrack::setPublication ( const std::shared_ptr< LocalTrackPublication > & publication )

inlineoverridevirtualnoexcept

Sets the publication that owns this track.

Reimplemented from livekit::Track.

◆ to_string()

std::string livekit::LocalVideoTrack::to_string ( ) const

Returns a human-readable string representation of the track, including its SID and name. Useful for debugging and logging.
