## Overview

Livepeer Studio is a real-time interactive streaming platform built on the Livepeer network. It exposes live video, video-on-demand, and transcoding as developer APIs — an open video stack designed for flexibility, with up to 80% cost savings compared to traditional cloud video providers.

It's the fastest path for teams that want to tap Livepeer's network economics without running orchestration infrastructure themselves.

## What you can build

- **Live streaming products** — low-latency live video over WebRTC and HLS
- **Video-on-demand** — uploads, playback, AI tools, and content integrity features
- **Custom transcoding pipelines** — scale across modern codecs including AV1
- **Real-time interactive video** — apps that need sub-second round-trips, not just broadcast

## Developer surface

- **Live Streaming API** — WebRTC and HLS ingest and playback with low-latency delivery
- **Video On Demand API** — uploads, transcoding, AI tools, and content integrity
- **Transcode API** — codec coverage including AV1, scales with your traffic
- **Open source** — the platform itself is on [GitHub](https://github.com/livepeer/studio), and the API is documented for direct integration.

Every workload routes through the Livepeer network — independent orchestrators contributing GPU and bandwidth — which is what makes Studio's economics and resiliency possible.
