## What does this demo do?

- Use [startLiveStreaming](https://docs.daily.co/reference#%EF%B8%8F-startlivestreaming) to send video and audio to specified RTMP endpoint
- Listen for stream started / stopped / error events
- Allows call owner to specify stream layout (grid, single participant or active speaker) and maximum cams
- Extends the basic call demo with a live streaming provider, tray button and modal
- Show a notification bubble at the top of the screen when live streaming is in progress

Please note: this demo is not currently mobile optimised

### Getting started

```
# set both DAILY_API_KEY and DAILY_DOMAIN
mv env.example .env.local

yarn
yarn workspace @custom/live-streaming dev
```

## How does this example work?

In this example we extend the [basic call demo](../basic-call) with live streaming functionality.

We pass a custom tray object, a custom app object (wrapping the original in a new `LiveStreamingProvider`) and a custom modal. We also symlink both the `public` and `pages/api` folders from the basic call.

Single live streaming is only available to call owners, you must create a token when joining the call (for simplicity, we have disabled the abiltiy to join the call as a guest.)
