About

LiveKit™ started amid and in response to the pandemic. As the world relied on the Internet to cultivate bonds formed IRL, we realized free and open infrastructure capable of connecting anyone, anywhere, instantly, just didn't exist.

Since our first public release of LiveKit Open Source in July 2021, we've added contributors, community members, and even old friends to our core team. We come from different walks of life, speak different languages, and live in different places, but all share an interest in and passion for connecting the world through technology; eliminating the influence geography has on opportunity.
