Building the future of video with Livepeer
summary
Livepeer claims up to 50x infrastructure cost reduction for live and on‑demand video and offers 1000 free transcoding minutes to start. The demo shows creating a Next.js app, installing the Livepeer JS React package, creating a Studio API key, using useCreateAsset/useAsset hooks to upload a file, and receiving a playback ID. Uploaded assets process in Livepeer Studio and play back (including via IPFS hashes), so the end‑to‑end upload → transcode → playback flow is functional.
