Real-time media
LiveKit
Open-source WebRTC infrastructure for real-time video, voice and data, self-hostable or managed.
The clearest example in this directory of what an open-source dependency does to a buyer's leverage.
Real-time media infrastructure you can run yourself from the open-source server or use as a managed cloud, with SDKs for web, mobile and server.
It is marked verified because every criterion below can be checked against a public repository and public documentation without asking anyone for anything.
Where it shines
- Open source: self-host for free, or use the managed cloud
- A framework for real-time voice AI agents
Check before signing

Something is listed only when it can be checked. A connection we could not confirm is left off, and Find providers then credits the API at half weight.
