API Development

Streams LiveKit video rooms to MUX, YouTube, and Twitch using RTMP egress with automated VOD archiving and database tracking.

This skill enables developers to implement professional-grade broadcasting capabilities within a Next.js application by connecting LiveKit real-time sessions to external streaming platforms. It automates the complex process of setting up RTMP egress, managing MUX live stream lifecycles, and persisting stream metadata to a database via Drizzle ORM. By handling multi-destination streaming and automatic VOD generation, it provides a robust foundation for building webinar platforms, social streaming apps, or internal broadcasting tools with minimal manual configuration.
