Universal Egress

What's this blog post about?

Universal Egress is a new set of tools and APIs that simplify exporting audio and video from LiveKit. It allows developers to export media from any open room using three options: Room Composite for exporting an entire room, Track Composite for exporting synchronized tracks of a single participant, and Track Egress for exporting individual tracks. The service automatically transcodes streams when moving between protocols, containers or encodings. Universal Egress is designed to keep load off the SFU and provide flexibility over varying load and queue depth. It aims to build a bridge from WebRTC to any destination speaking any protocol, format or encoding.
