Livepeer Studio is a hosted API platform for building live streaming and video-on-demand applications. It provides a REST API, TypeScript, Go, and Python SDKs, a React player and Broadcast component, and a dashboard for managing streams, assets, and billing. Studio operates as a gateway on the Livepeer network, routing transcoding and delivery workloads to the decentralised orchestrator pool.

​
Key Features

  • Livestream - Create streams, ingest via RTMP or WebRTC, play back with low-latency WebRTC or HLS, record sessions, and multistream to other platforms.
  • Video on demand - Upload assets (TUS or PUT), transcode, and play back with the Livepeer Player or any HLS/MP4 player.
  • Access control - Gate playback with webhooks or JWTs for subscriptions or token-gating.
  • Events and analytics - Webhooks for stream and asset events, and a viewership API for engagement and performance metrics.
  • SDKs - TypeScript, Go, and Python server SDKs, plus a React Player and Broadcast component.
