envs add livekit/realtimeThis declares the keys below in your catalog and sets none of them. A template is a schema for keys; it never carries a value.
| Key | Needed | Kind | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
LIVEKIT_URL |
required | config | The websocket endpoint, handed to the browser alongside a token and passed straight into connect. An address, not a credential.. where to get it |
LIVEKIT_API_KEY |
required | secret | LiveKit says generating a token requires the API keys, so it must happen on a backend server and be sent to the frontend. The browser never holds this. Names come from LiveKit's own sample environment file.. where to get it |
LIVEKIT_API_SECRET |
required | secret | Signs the per-participant JWT. LiveKit says tokens are signed with the API secret to prevent forgery, which is the whole reason it stays server-side.. where to get it |
