# Egress examples

> Usage examples for Egress APIs to record or livestream a room or individual tracks.

## Recording room composite as HLS

This example records a [room composite](https://docs.livekit.io/transport/media/ingress-egress/egress/composite-recording.md#roomcomposite-egress) layout as HLS segments to an S3-compatible bucket.

**LiveKit CLI**:

> ℹ️ **Note**
> 
> When `live_playlist_name` is provided, a playlist is generated containing only the last few segments. This can be useful to livestream the recording via HLS.

## Recording web in portrait

This example records a [web page](https://docs.livekit.io/transport/media/ingress-egress/egress/composite-recording.md#web-egress) in portrait mode to Google Cloud Storage, streaming to RTMP.

Portrait orientation can be specified by either using a `preset` option or setting `advanced` options. Egress automatically resizes the Chrome compositor to your specified resolution. However, keep in mind the following requirements:

- Chrome has a minimum browser width of 500px.
- Your application must maintain a portrait layout, even when the browser reports a width larger than typical mobile phones. (for example, 720px width or larger).

**LiveKit CLI**:

```json
{
  "url": "https://my-page.com",
  "preset": "PORTRAIT_H264_720P_30",
  "audio_only": false,
  "file_outputs": [
    {
      "filepath": "my-test-file.mp4",
      "gcp": {
        "credentials": "{\"type\": \"service_account\", ...}",
        "bucket": "my-bucket"
      }
    }
  ],
  "stream_outputs": [
    {
      "protocol": "RTMP",
      "urls": ["rtmps://my-rtmp-server.com/live/stream-key"]
    }
  ]
}

```

```shell
lk egress start --type web egress.json

```

---

**JavaScript**:

```typescript
import * as fs from 'fs';

const content = fs.readFileSync('/path/to/credentials.json');

## SRT streaming with thumbnails

This example streams an [individual participant](https://docs.livekit.io/transport/media/ingress-egress/egress/participant.md) to an SRT server, generating thumbnails every 5 seconds. Thumbnails are stored in Azure Blob Storage.

## Adding RTMP to track composite egress

Create a TrackComposite Egress recorded as HLS segments, with RTMP output added later.

**LiveKit CLI**:

```json
{
  "room_name": "my-room",
  "audio_track_id": "TR_AUDIO_ID",
  "video_track_id": "TR_VIDEO_ID",
  "stream_outputs": [
    {
      "protocol": "RTMP",
      "urls": []
    }
  ],
  "segment_outputs": [
    {
      "filename_prefix": "path/to/my-output",
      "playlist_name": "my-output.m3u8",
      "segment_duration": 2,
      "s3": {
        "access_key": "",
        "secret": "",
        "region": "",
        "bucket": "my-bucket"
      }
    }
  ]
}

```

```shell
lk egress start --type track-composite egress.json

# later, to add a RTMP output
lk egress update-stream --id <egress-id> --add-urls rtmp://new-server.com/live/stream-key

# to remove RTMP output
lk egress update-stream --id <egress-id> --remove-urls rtmp://new-server.com/live/stream-key

```

**JavaScript**:

```typescript

  stream: new StreamOutput({

## Exporting individual tracks without transcoding

Export video tracks to Azure Blob Storage without transcoding.

> ℹ️ **Separate video and audio tracks**
> 
> Video and audio tracks must be exported separately using Track Egress.

**LiveKit CLI**:
