LiveKit Meet: How It Works

LiveKit Meet is a video conferencing and watch party app built with Next.js and LiveKit Components.

How It Works

• Room Creation & Join: Users create or join rooms, each identified by a unique ID.
• WebSocket Connection: The app fetches a server URL and token, then connects to a LiveKit server using WebSockets for real-time media and chat.
• Media Handling: Audio, video, and screen sharing are managed by the LiveKit SDK, which handles all signaling and media transport.
• UI Components: The interface is built with reusable React components for chat, participant tiles, settings, and more.
• Security: End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is supported for private meetings.
