​
What’s the Same

The LiveKit agent framework is 100% portable — your agent code does not change. Everything in LiveKit works identically on Telnyx. Notable sections from LiveKit docs:

​
What’s Different

These features work differently on Telnyx compared to LiveKit Cloud:
  • STT / TTS / LLM — LiveKit Cloud requires third-party AI providers. On Telnyx, hosted models are available out of the box via livekit-plugins-telnyx. Prefer your own provider? Bring any API key.
  • SIP trunking — On other platforms, you pay third-party SIP fees on top of your usage. On Telnyx, those are gone entirely — SIP is built-in because you’re already on the carrier. BYOT also supported if you prefer your existing provider.
  • Phone numbers — Telnyx numbers in 140+ countries instead of LiveKit Phone (US only)
  • HD voice — G.722 supported natively. Higher audio quality for voice agents out of the box.
  • Agent deployment — Same lk agent deploy command. Just swap the URL: lk agent deploy . --url <region>.livekit.telnyx.com

​
What’s Not Supported

  • Ingress (RTMP/WHIP) — importing external streams into a room
  • Sandbox — quick-start dev environments

​
Coming Soon

This roadmap is subject to change.
  • Egress — Call recording, room recording, cloud storage export
  • Observability — Cloud Dashboard with session timeline (transcripts, traces, logs, audio playback)
  • Agent Tooling — Playground, Agent Builder
  • Security & Compliance — E2E encryption, SSO, RBAC, HIPAA
  • Media — Enhanced noise cancellation (Krisp/BVC)
