Live Streaming Integration

A live stream's camera is an ordinary @corvidhq/rtc Room underneath — stream.room — so effects attach exactly the way they do for a plain RTC call. Nothing effects-specific was built into Live Streaming to make this work.

Host-side setup

import { LiveStream } from '@corvidhq/client';
import { effects } from '@corvidhq/effects';
 
const stream = await LiveStream.join(credentials); // role: 'HOST' or 'CO_HOST'
const camera = await stream.room.enableCamera();
 
const pipeline = effects.createPipeline();
pipeline.applyPreset(effects.presets.vivid);
 
await camera.attachEffects(pipeline);

'use client';
import { RavenLiveStream, useCamera, useCameraEffects, effectPresets } from '@corvidhq/react';
 
function HostView() {
  const camera = useCamera();
  const effects = useCameraEffects();
 
  return (
    <button onClick={() => effects.applyPreset(effectPresets.vivid)}>Apply Vivid</button>
  );
}
 
<RavenLiveStream credentials={credentials}>
  <HostView />
</RavenLiveStream>;

Viewers receive processed video automatically

A viewer subscribes to the host's track through the ordinary trackSubscribed event, same as any RTC participant — see Rooms & Participants. Because effects process the track before publish, the SFU forwards the already-filtered video: a viewer's RemoteTrack is indistinguishable from an unfiltered one, and viewers never install or import @corvidhq/effects.

What isn't affected

• Live chat and reactions keep working — they're a separate ChatClient composed alongside the same Room; effects touch video only. See Live Chat.
• Ending the stream / leaving — stream.leave() behaves exactly as documented in Streams & Lifecycle, whether or not a pipeline is attached.
• Co-hosts each attach their own pipeline to their own camera independently — one host's filter choice never affects another's video.
