Talks Streams Overview 📙

⚠️ Legacy Overview - Please Use Agents SDK / Agents Streams

The Talks/Clips Streams (Live Streaming API) endpoints are a legacy feature.

While they remain supported for existing integrations, we highly encourage developers to use the newer Agents SDK or the Agents Streams going forward.

Why migrate?

Better performance & lower latency
Easier integration with the Agents SDK - no need to manage WebRTC and API calls manually
Same core functionality (real-time video streaming) plus more:
- Real-time video responses from the LLM, enhanced with Knowledge and RAG.
- Advanced features like Fluent streaming + Interrupt (for Premium+ avatars) and upcoming capabilities
Future-proof: all new features will be released only for Agents SDK / Agents Streams
Same pricing as Talks/Clips Streams

👉 If you’re just getting started: skip this page and head to Agents SDK / Agents Streams

👉 If you need to maintain an existing Talks/Clips Streams integration, see the Legacy mapping below to migrate smoothly.

✴️ Legacy mapping

If you’re migrating from the old Talks/Streams or Clips/Streams see the following mapping to transition smoothly:

Legacy endpoint	Agents SDK equivalent	Agents Streams equivalent
Create a new Stream `POST /talks/streams` `POST /clips/streams`	`agentManager.connect()`	`POST /agents/{agentId}/streams`
Start a WebRTC connection `POST /talks/streams/{streamId}/sdp` `POST /clips/streams/{streamId}/sdp`	Handled by `agentManager.connect()`	`POST /agents/{agentId}/streams/{streamId}/sdp`
Submit network information `POST /talks/streams/{streamId}/ice` `POST /clips/streams/{streamId}/ice`	Handled by `agentManager.connect()`	`POST /agents/{agentId}/streams/{streamId}/ice`
Text/Audio input → Avatar reply Create a talk stream `POST /talks/streams/{streamId}` Create a clip stream `POST /clips/streams/{streamId}`	`agentManager.speak()`	Create a video stream `POST /agents/{agentId}/streams/{streamId}`
LLM response → Avatar reply `N/A`	`agentManager.chat()`	Create a chat `POST /agents/{agentId}/chat` Send a message to a Chat `POST /agents/{agentId}/chat/{chatId}`
Close stream `DELETE /talks/streams/{streamId}` `DELETE /clips/streams/{streamId}`	`agentManager.disconnect()`	`DELETE /agents/{agentId}/streams/{streamId}`

Note: Most WebRTC client code (SDP/ICE handlers, RTCPeerConnection wiring) is reusable from the previous demo repository. You can still use that repository as a starting point - just update the API calls to the new Agents Streams endpoints. Keep in mind that creating an Agent is a prerequisite before starting a stream.

When using the SDK, all of this is handled for you through simple functions, making integration much easier.
