LiveKit Unity SDK

⚠️ Warning

This SDK is currently in Developer Preview mode and not ready for production use. There will be bugs and APIs may change during this period.

We welcome and appreciate any feedback or contributions. You can create issues here or chat live with us in the #rust-developer-preview channel within the LiveKit Community Slack.

Use this SDK to add real-time video, audio and data features to your Unity app. By connecting to a self- or cloud-hosted LiveKit server, you can quickly build applications like interactive live streaming or video calls with just a few lines of code.

Platform Support

• Windows
• MacOS
• Linux
• iOS
• Android
• WebGL

We plan to support all Unity platforms with this SDK. WebGL is currently supported with client-sdk-unity-web.

Installation

Follow this unity tutorial using the https://github.com/livekit/client-sdk-unity.git link. You can then directly import the samples into the package manager.

This repo uses Git LFS, please ensure it's installed when cloning the repo.

Examples

You can find examples in the unity-example.

Connect to a room

using LiveKit;

IEnumerator Start()
{
    var room = new Room();
    room.TrackSubscribed += TrackSubscribed;

    var connect = room.Connect("ws://localhost:7880", "<join-token>");
    yield return connect;
    if (!connect.IsError)
    {
        Debug.Log("Connected to " + room.Name);
    }
}

Publishing microphone

// Publish Microphone
var source = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
source.clip = Microphone.Start("MacBook Pro Microphone", true, 2, 48000);
source.loop = true;
Ssurce.Play();

var rtcSource = new RtcAudioSource(Source);
var track = LocalAudioTrack.CreateAudioTrack("my-track", rtcSource);

var options = new TrackPublishOptions();
options.Source = TrackSource.SourceMicrophone;

var publish = room.LocalParticipant.PublishTrack(track, options);
yield return publish;

if (!publish.IsError)
{
    Debug.Log("Track published!");
}

Publishing a texture (e.g Unity Camera)

var rt = new UnityEngine.RenderTexture(1920, 1080, 24, RenderTextureFormat.ARGB32);
rt.Create();
Camera.main.targetTexture = rt;

var source = new TextureVideoSource(rt);
var track = LocalVideoTrack.CreateVideoTrack("my-track", source);

var options = new TrackPublishOptions();
options.VideoCodec = VideoCodec.H264;
options.Source = TrackSource.SourceCamera;

var publish = _room.LocalParticipant.PublishTrack(track, options);
yield return publish;

if (!publish.IsError)
{
    Debug.Log("Track published!");
}

Receiving tracks

IEnumerator Start()
{
    var room = new Room();
    room.TrackSubscribed += TrackSubscribed;

    var connect = room.Connect("ws://localhost:7880", "<join-token>");
    yield return connect;

    // ....
}

void TrackSubscribed(IRemoteTrack track, RemoteTrackPublication publication, RemoteParticipant participant)
{
    if (track is RemoteVideoTrack videoTrack)
    {
        var rawImage = GetComponent<RawImage>();
        var stream = new VideoStream(videoTrack);
        stream.TextureReceived += (tex) =>
        {
            rawImage.texture = tex;
        };
        StartCoroutine(stream.Update());
        // The video data is displayed on the rawImage
    }
    else if (track is RemoteAudioTrack audioTrack)
    {
        var source = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
        var stream = new AudioStream(audioTrack, source);
        // Audio is being played on the source ..
    }
}
