LiveKit: Cloud (Demo or with limits)

LiveKit Cloud has a free tier (Build plan, no card) and is ready in minutes.

Steps

Create an account at cloud.livekit.io.

Create a project.

Settings → Keys → generate an API Key/Secret pair.

Project API key list with the Create key button highlighted

Dialog for creating a new API key

Copy the project's WebSocket URL (format wss://YOUR-PROJECT.livekit.cloud).

Project URL field in the project's general settings

Variable	Value
`LIVEKIT_URL`	`wss://YOUR-PROJECT.livekit.cloud`
`LIVEKIT_API_KEY`	Generated in step 3
`LIVEKIT_API_SECRET`	Generated in step 3

Migrating to self-host later is changing these three values — the code does not change.
