LiveKit

LiveKit is a technology we use to develop real-time video and audio applications. It powers livestream platforms, video conferencing tools, and other solutions where low-latency communication is essential.

Key Features of LiveKit and How It Works

LiveKit is an open-source platform built on WebRTC. It allows us to create scalable, real-time audio and video applications without building everything from scratch.

Main features include:

• Server SDKs for custom backend integration

• Audio and video rooms with multiple participants

• Role-based access and permissions

• Screen sharing, recording, simulcast support

• Native mobile SDKs and browser support

• Scalable architecture for large livestream events

Who Is Using LiveKit?

Companies such as Daily , Twitch , Cloudflare , and Agora are already using this technology or contributing to its ecosystem. It is trusted across industries where real-time video and audio communication is essential. The most common applications include healthcare for telemedicine and remote consultations, fitness and wellness for live coaching and training platforms, education for virtual classrooms and online learning, and the media and events sector where it powers interactive livestream experiences.

Moravio’s Experience with LiveKit

Our team has delivered several LiveKit projects, including Stardio , a live fitness streaming platform. You can read more about this project here: Stardio Case Study.

We also work on other LiveKit projects that are under NDA. Our developers have deep experience with the full LiveKit stack, including server SDKs, frontend integrations, and scalable infrastructure deployments.

How It’s Built and Supported

Is it Free?

Yes, LiveKit is free and open-source. It can be self-hosted or used via LiveKit Cloud with access to premium support. The platform offers strong documentation and an active developer community.

Documentation and Community Support

LiveKit offers clear guides for developers, an active GitHub repository, and a helpful Discord community. This makes it easy for our team to quickly build, launch, and scale client applications.

How LiveKit Is Built on WebRTC

LiveKit is built on top of WebRTC. While WebRTC handles the low-level transport of media (video/audio streaming), LiveKit adds all the tools needed to build a real-world product. This includes media servers, user roles, recording, scalability, and APIs — allowing our team to focus on delivering a complete business-ready solution.
