LiveKit

LiveKit is an open-source infrastructure for real-time audio and video applications that powers Qubital's video conferencing capabilities. It provides a complete Real-Time Communications (RTC) stack built on WebRTC, offering seamless, high-quality audio/video streaming with participant management and built-in recording features.

Our implementation uses LiveKit Cloud for the core media services, integrated with our Go backend for authentication and room management. The system is deployed using Docker containers and supports both local development and production environments.
