Video Streaming

Video Streaming surfaces live video streaming as an app section. It reuses the browser webcam publisher (WebRTC publish → LiveKit) and the server-side RTMP egress so an operator can go live to YouTube, Twitch, … straight from an app tab — no need to leave the app. The full-screen Studio page (/broadcast/:app) remains available for advanced use.

Plugin id	streaming

UI slot	app-tab
Needs worker	No

No worker is needed: the browser publishes over WebRTC and the server’s room-composite egress forwards to RTMP — both already exposed via the app’s token and broadcast endpoints. The manifest only declares the config the tool pre-fills its form with.

Configuration

Field	Type	Default	Description
room	string	studio	LiveKit room the webcam publishes to and the egress composes.
defaultRtmpUrl	string	`` (empty)	Optional. Pre-fills the destination field (rtmp:// or rtmps://).
audioOnly	boolean	false	Start the tool in audio-only mode by default.

Enable and configure

Dashboard: open the app’s Plugins tab → Install Video Streaming → toggle Active. A Streaming tab appears inside the app. Configure to pre-fill the room and default RTMP destination.

API:

curl -X PATCH https://YOUR-DOMAIN/api/v1/apps/live/plugins/streaming \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"enabled": true, "config": {"room": "studio", "defaultRtmpUrl": "rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/<stream-key>"}}'

Caution

The RTMP destination is the stream key for your target platform — treat it as a secret. It is stored per app in the plugin config and used by the server egress.
