Short answer

How can my AI send live data to everyone in a LiveKit room?

Your AI uses specific tools to push data messages or update metadata for the entire room or individual participants. This allows your agent to keep everyone in sync with real-time information. You'll see the results reflected in the room state and participant profiles immediately.

Where every update lands.

Real-time communication outcomes

The AI directs information to specific parts of the LiveKit room structure.

DATA

Live data messages

The AI sends raw data packets to all clients. This keeps your application state in sync across the room.

ROOM

Room-wide metadata

The AI updates the room's shared metadata. This changes information that every participant can see at once.

USER

Participant updates

The AI modifies metadata for a specific person. This is how your agent updates individual user statuses or roles.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI cannot kick users or change video permissions. You must handle those administrative actions yourself.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI delete a participant from the room?

    No. The AI can only update metadata or send data. You have to manage room membership yourself.

  • 02

    Can the AI turn on a user's camera?

    No. This connector only handles data and metadata. It cannot control media tracks or hardware permissions.

  • 03

    How do participants receive the data sent by the AI?

    Participants receive the data through the LiveKit data channel once the AI triggers the tool.

  • 04

    Can the AI update metadata for everyone at once?

    Yes, by using the tool designed to update room-level metadata.

  • 05

    Does the AI see the video streams?

    No. The AI interacts with the room's data and metadata layers, not the media streams.
