Live Streams

Introduction

Our Live Stream system is NOT based on WebRTC, because it'd be extremely inefficient and slow for anything more than 5 concurrent viewers. We're using Livekit, which handles hundreds of concurrent viewers without breaking a sweat!

Setting up Livekit

Out of the box we usually leave our free API keys in as an example and for initial testing. This is a tutorial how to set up your own one, because with large numbers of viewers these might get drained pretty fast!

Register on Livekit

Head on to their official website and create a new account or login if you already have one!

Create an API key

Create an API key by navigating to Settings > API keys and clicking Create key. You can put any description you want, recommended for clarity - FiveM Live Streaming

Copy the Websocket URL, the API key and the API secret

And head to your phone files, high-phone/config/server.lua and modify the following configuration:

server.lua

liveKit = {
    url = "Paste the Websocket URL here",
    apiKey = "Paste your API key here",
    apiSecret = "Paste your API secret here"
},
