REMOVING OF https://agents-playground.livekit.io/

Getting Started
1

Hi LiveKit Team,

Previously, I was able to manually test/join rooms using the old Agents Playground at:

https://agents-playground.livekit.io/

I could simply provide:

  • LiveKit server URL

  • Room token

and directly connect/test my agent manually.

But now the playground redirects to:

https://cloud.livekit.io/projects

and I can no longer find the old manual room join/testing interface.

My use case:

  • I run my own LiveKit setup / custom agents

  • I generate tokens manually

  • I want to quickly test agents by pasting URL + token like before

  • I do not necessarily want to use full Cloud project configuration for every test

Questions:

  1. Is the old manual testing/join workflow removed?

  2. How can we now use Console Configuration inside LiveKit Cloud for the same workflow?

  3. Is there a replacement for the old Agents Playground UI?

  4. Can we still manually connect to self-hosted LiveKit instances using token + URL?

Would appreciate documentation or migration guidance.

Thanks.

@aashrith, the hosted agents-playground.livekit.io has been gated behind Cloud sign-in, but the playground itself is still alive as OSS. The source is at GitHub - livekit/agents-playground · GitHub, actively maintained (last push yesterday). Clone it, run locally against your dev environment, paste your wss URL + token like before, and you have the same workflow back for self-hosted testing.

For quicker one-offs, lk room join from the LiveKit CLI connects to any wss URL with a token and is useful for headless sanity checks. The Agent Console inside cloud.livekit.io is the no-code path but it’s Cloud-only and won’t help for self-host. So for your specific use case (manual token + URL against your own server), the locally-run playground is the direct replacement.

You should start using Agent Console. It has a lot of improvements and learning from the older Agents Playground

Well, you asked first :slight_smile: please also see my answer in that thread through - the source code for the agents playground is still available, but we do not maintain it anymore.
