If you'd like to broadcast a livestream of a call outside of the meeting itself, you can configure your bots to send an RTMP stream to an endpoint.

📘

The Video Layout of the RTMP stream will be the same as the format of the recording produced by the bot. If you select speaker_view, the RTMP stream will only show the active speaker, but if you set gallery_view_v2, it will show the full gallery view.

Configure the bot

Now it's time to send a bot to a meeting while configuring a real-time websocket endpoint.

To do this, call the Create Bot endpoint while providing a real-time endpoint object where:

• type: rtmp
• config.url: Your publicly exposed ngrok tunnel URL
• config.events: An array including the video_mixed_flv.data event

Include video_mixed_flv media object in recording_config . Don't forget to set meeting_url to your newly-created Google Meet call.

Example curl:

curl --request POST \
     --url https://us-west-2.recall.ai/api/v1/bot/ \
     --header "Authorization: $RECALLAI_API_KEY" \
     --header "accept: application/json" \
     --header "content-type: application/json" \
     --data '
{
  "meeting_url": "https://meet.google.com/sde-zixx-iry",
  "recording_config": {
    "video_mixed_flv": {},
    "realtime_endpoints": [
      {
        "type": "rtmp",
          "url": "rtmps://your-app.com/api/...",
          "events": ["video_mixed_flv.data"]
      }
    ]
  }
}
'

Your RTMP destination URL should have the following format:

rtmp://hostname[:port]/{APPLICATION-NAME}/{STREAM-KEY}

If you'd like an extra layer of authentication in addition to the stream key, we recommend generating a short-lived JWT and providing this as a query parameter. Your backend can then verify this token prior to accepting the RTMP connection.
