FAQs

What are the typical hosting costs associated with running a LiveKit server, given it's open-source?

While LiveKit itself is free, you'll incur costs for cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) to host your Go-based server, STUN/TURN servers, and bandwidth. Costs scale with the number of concurrent users and data transfer.

Does LiveKit offer pre-built UI components or do developers need to build the entire front-end for video conferencing?

LiveKit provides the backend infrastructure and client SDKs (for web, iOS, Android, etc.) but does not offer pre-built UI components. Developers are responsible for creating the front-end user interface using their preferred frameworks.

What kind of scalability can I expect from LiveKit for large multi-user conferences?

LiveKit is designed for scalability, leveraging WebRTC's capabilities. Its Go-based server can handle many concurrent users and rooms. Actual scalability depends on your server infrastructure, network configuration, and optimization of your application.
