+## Meetings SFU (LiveKit) — optional, scales meetings past ~5 people
+
+By default meetings use a **P2P mesh** (each person sends video to every other person), which
+degrades past ~5 participants. Enabling **LiveKit** routes media through an SFU so each person
+uploads once — rooms scale to 20-50+. It's **fully optional and config-gated**: until you set the
+three `LIVEKIT_*` vars, the app keeps using the mesh, unchanged. The `livekit` service is already
+in `docker-compose.yml`; these steps turn it on.
+
+**1. Generate an API key + secret** (any two random strings; keep them secret):
+```bash
+echo "LIVEKIT_API_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 8)"
+echo "LIVEKIT_API_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 24)"
+```
+Add those two lines to the server's `.env`, plus the public signaling URL:
+```
+LIVEKIT_URL=wss://livekit.bizgaze.com
+LIVEKIT_API_KEY=<from above>
+LIVEKIT_API_SECRET=<from above>
+```
+The app mints join tokens with the secret (server-side only); the same key/secret reach the
+`livekit` container via `LIVEKIT_KEYS` (docker-compose reads them from this same `.env`).
+
+**2. DNS**: point `livekit.bizgaze.com` (A record) at the server — `118.95.33.89`.
+
+**3. NPM proxy host** for the signaling WebSocket (LiveKit media does NOT go through NPM):
+- Domain `livekit.bizgaze.com` → **Forward to** `livekit:7880` (scheme `http`).
+- **Websockets Support: ON**. Request an SSL cert (Let's Encrypt) + Force SSL.
+- NPM reaches `livekit:7880` by container name — both are on `nginx_proxy_manager_default`.
+
+**4. Open the media ports on the VPS firewall** (these are host-published by the compose service,
+bypassing NPM — WebRTC media can't traverse an L7 proxy):
+```bash
+ufw allow 50000:50100/udp   # WebRTC media (must match livekit.yaml port range)
+ufw allow 7881/tcp          # WebRTC-over-TCP fallback for restrictive networks
+```
+If the VPS is behind NAT and LiveKit can't auto-detect its public IP, set `rtc.node_ip` in
+`livekit.yaml` to `118.95.33.89` and redeploy.
+
+**5. Deploy** (starts the livekit container alongside the app):
+```bash
+cd /opt/bizgaze-support && ./deploy.sh
+docker compose ps            # expect both bizgaze-support AND bizgaze-livekit "Up"
+```
+
+**6. Verify**:
+```bash
+curl https://remote.bizgaze.com/api/meetings/config     # expect {"sfu":true,"url":"wss://livekit.bizgaze.com"}
+curl -I https://livekit.bizgaze.com                      # 200/426 (WS endpoint reachable via NPM+TLS)
+docker logs bizgaze-livekit --tail 30                    # "starting LiveKit server", no key errors
+```
+Then start a meeting in the app and confirm 3+ participants see each other. To roll back to mesh,
+just remove the `LIVEKIT_*` vars from `.env` and redeploy — no code change.
