Summary
LiveSmart AI Video offers the possibility to monetize incomes by enabling subscriptions for LiveSmart customers and using it as SaaS. Customers are organized in tenants, or semantic organizational structures with own configuration, branding, logo and user interface. One tenant can be any client of LiveSmart owner or different departments. For example LiveSmart can have several tenants – company1, company2, company3 – and each of them can have many users sharing own configuration, branding and payment plan. Monetization functionality is available for customers with Extended license.
Payment and subscription
Owner of LiveSmart can enable or disable subscriptions globally for the site and set different tenants to be paid. Also can set different payment plans with different time intervals and prices and check payment subscription history. Admin user can also set a usage package by minutes. Subscriptions can be paid by using the most popular payment gateways – PayPal, Stripe and Authorize.net. By default payment is set to test mode. Also payments are not recurring. Subscription is a one time payment and when is due to expire, tenant admin will receive a notification email. Body, title and notification days are configurable.

For example: “You are a streaming avatar from LiveSmart, leading company that specialize in videos commnucations. Your name is Monica and if asked provide contact information email contact@livesmart.video. Please try your best to response with short answers, and only answer the last question. If people ask you how this works tell them this is a LiveSmart integration with HeyGen and OpenAI.”
Greeting Text
Avatar can greet the customer with some text. It can be added in the “The avatar will start the conversation with this text if provided” field. It allows adding placeholder, so it turns personally to the customer, for example:
Hello {{name}}, this is Angela and I will guide you today., where {{name}} will be replaced with the name provided in the initial form. Also greeting text can be extended to add some instructions in the chat, by adding a “|” as a separator:Hello {{name}}, this is Angela. Please open the chat for more instructions|This text will appear in the chat. Then if the customer fills in John in the initial form, the avatar will greet him with “Hello John, this is Angela. Please open the chat for more instructions”, and when the customer opens the chat there will be “This text will appear in the chat”.Advanced Options Guide

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the limitations of using HeyGen free API key?
You can use the HeyGen free API with these limitations: 5 hours of speech per month, 15 avatars and above 120 voices. Avatar can speak up to 1000 characters of text and watermark. You can have up to three avatar sessions at once.
In order to remove this limitations, you can use the Interactive avatar plan for $100/month from hereIs OpenAI (ChatGPT) usage free of charge?
OpenAI usage is not free. They charge depending on the model you use. More info can be found in their pricing page. Tokens are chunk of text – something in-between sentences and words.
How to obtain HeyGen paid API key, credits and more avatars
You can get HeyGen credits, by purchasing them either from this form. Check for the ‘purchase API Credits’ button below. For Enterprise API Key, lowest price is $100/months.
How can I train the avatars?
1. You can add some text from the Dashboard with description of the avatar attitude and behaviour or simply with information of your live data (e-commerce site, product availability, news, events, whatever you can think of)
2. More advanced approach that requires some programming knowledge is to add your own functions and in Advanced options of the dashboard to fill in description and params. There are four type of examples I have added in the product. This example avatar is trained to give information about current weather condition at a location. If you ask the avatar “What is the weather like in San Francisco”, she will answer you with current live data for SF. Advanced options in the dashboard is like this:
Function – getCurrentWeather – this is a predefined sample function that is calling a third party site with location and unit for a current weather condition.
Description – Get the current weather in a given location – with this you are giving instructions to the avatar to listen for questions about weather and location
Parameters – location,unit – To specify location from the voice and optional unit – Celsius or Fahrenheit.
This works like this – you ask the avatar “what is the weather like in San Francisco”, avatar based on the instructions in the description understands and calls the function, the third party is returning the necessary info and avatar speaks back.
Here you can find API documentation of the sample functions. Multiple functions can be added to sequence the behavior of the avatar. For example, the booking demo is working like this: getAvailableTimeslots -> Get available timeslots and free hours -> timeslot and next function bookTimeslot -> Book a timeslot availability with email and name -> timeslot,email,name. With first set the avatar will check for availability and announce back and with the next you can book an available timeslots.3. Last option is to have an assistant on your OpenAI dashboard. You can upload multiple files there, add descriptions and attitude to the assistant. Then this assistant can be assigned to avatar in LiveSmart Dashboard in Rooms -> AI Avatar -> Predefined Assistants.
How can I monetize from this product?
In version 1.0.6 is included SaaS and monetisation module. For more information, please refer to this article.
Can I use OpenAI gpt-4o OpenAI model?
Yes, but mind the pricing of the model.
When I click on microphone icon nothing happens (iPhone Safari and Chrome)
You need to check if you have enabled dictation on your iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard.
Turn on Enable Dictation. If a prompt appears, tap Enable Dictation. For more information check this article.
Another reason for not working microphone is if your avatar page is within an iframe and it has not the required permission. If you are adding the avatar page into another site iframe, it should look like this:<iframe id="lsv_iframe" src="YOUR_AVATAR_PAGE" allow="camera; microphone; fullscreen; autoplay; encrypted-media;" style="background-color:#ffffff; padding: 0; margin:0; border:0;" width="100%" height="600"></iframe>Can I integrate LiveSmart AI into other platforms?
There is a WordPress plugin included in the release files. It adds LiveSmart dashboard to the WordPress admin panel, also adds shortcodes allowing you to integrate LiveSmart into your WordPress pages:
[livesmart_ai_widget room="NAME_OF_THE_ROOM"].
You can easily integrate LiveSmart AI avatar page to any other platform by adding this piece of code where you need it:
<iframe id="lsv_iframe" src="YOUR_AVATAR_PAGE" allow="camera; microphone; fullscreen; autoplay; encrypted-media;" style="background-color:#ffffff; padding: 0; margin:0; border:0;" width="100%" height="600"></iframe>

– how to set up an Authorize.net account. Check this article on how to obtain Login ID, Client ID and Transaction Key.
Branding
Each tenant can setup own branding for both administration and video panels – logo, look&feel, page title and wording. Each tenant can have own styling file and possibility to edit the tenant UI:
Tenants, organisers (hosts) and users
Owner of LiveSmart is the super administrator. He can add hosts, organized in tenants and can set a tenant admin. Tenant admin is responsible for payments and will receive notification emails when subscription is due to expire. Each tenant has their own chat and recording history and can set up their own users. Users in terms of LiveSmart are the non anonymous visitors. For example if a host wants to set up a room that is private, this can be done in two ways – by setting a global password for the room and all attendees need to know it in order to do video, or add multiple users with usernames and passwords.
Demo
You can login to the demo dashboard to test the subscription functions. There are two accounts with enabled payment: admin tenant with paytestadmin/paytest and regular user paytest/paytest. Admin tenant can also check tenant recordings, chat history, manage other organisers and users of the tenant.
This is a demo page, where you can see how LiveSmart Server Video voice to text and translation module works. This functionality works only with desktop and mobile Chrome browsers.
In order the demo to work, and there is no echo and overload, you should do this on different devices and not close one to another.
1. Choose the agent language from the list
and open the agent link
You will see the initial entry form. By providing a common name, you can enter the room as room owner.
When the meeting starts, you need to enable speech recognition and translate from the icon:
2. Choose the attendee language from the list
Click this attendee link to copy it in the clipboard and send it to a new device so there is no echo. The attendee should see subtitles in his language while the agent is speaking. His voice on the other hand will be translated to the agent language.WARNING! Please note that you have to allow your browser to access camera and/or microphone in order the video chat to work.
In order to reduce the echo if you are on the same machine, you can mute microphone or lower the volume. For optimal demo results it is good to use two different devices.
LiveSmart can be legally purchased only from CodeCanyon. If you have obtained the software from another source, you face the risk of it not working properly, or to have inclusions that may harm your system.
Meeting Room
LiveSmart Server Video is a video chat between an organizer and one or more (theoretically unlimited number) attendees. The organizer role can be performed by tutor, doctor, support personnel, real estate agent, car reseller, registered user in a social media, etc
In order a call to be performed, both parties need to be online in one room. You can generate rooms for your customers in a couple of ways:
– Generate a room from the Dashboard page. You can add room ID, visitor name (if you are expecting someone to come), protect the room password if you want this room to be protected and organizer name;
– Make the link to be dynamically generated by your system;
When you enter a meeting the first time and if attendee names are not defined, you will be prompted to provide a name. After that you need to grant permissions for camera and/or microphone.When the meeting starts attendees can chat, toggle video or audio, draw on the whiteboard, transfer a file, do a screen share or take a snapshot* of the other party video screen. Also the organizer can perform attendee management like mute, block, respond to raised hands.
From the inline meeting settings an organizer can choose video/input and output devices. From the second tab, you can go full screen (the whole window), raise a hand, manage the participants and lock the room. Third tab is for recording. Here you can start/stop or pause a recording. Next is the option to start broadcasting a video from YouTube. Last one is a Share button, from where you can scan a QR code, copy the URL of the meeting or send it directly to an email.
From the inline video session window an organizer can mute an attendee. Also all the participants can take snapshots or go fullscreen.
Screen Sharing
You are able to share the whole screen, separate application or a browser tab if your browser is Chrome 72+, Firefox 52+ or MS Edge 17+.
Whiteboard
Whiteboard feature allows you to show your visitors some drawings, diagrams, images or links. It is enabled by default . You can disable it from the dashboard.
It can be started from chat screen by clicking on the Whiteboard icon. You can do this while in call.
Recording
You can record your whole screen from the Settings button -> Recordings
Broadcast
There is one or more broadcaster and many viewers. This is a perfect tool for online lecturers and enterprises.
From the dashboard you can start a meeting and check “Attendees will start audio and video disabled” in the Room management section.
Dashboard panel
The admin panel has a backend information about the organizers, rooms, locales and configuration.
Check here with demo/demo.
In the Page management you are able to generate custom room. You can specify a time period, duration of the meeting, visitor name, host name, room ID and if the room should be password protected. The save button is saving each generated room in a DB if available.
Private Access
You can set password protection for your meeting in two ways:
– when creating or saving a meeting room set a global password in the Room form;
– from the configuration section in the Dashboard enable Server Side -> Login Form. This will enable users to enter with their email and password and you need to define them in Users section of the Dashboard.Localization
From the Dashboard panel you can assign and change as many as you need localizations.
Go to Locales section and in the field type the name of the locale. It can be any string helping your to identify it later – es_ES, Spanish, SP. Choose the Spanish locale from the list and fill in relevant values.
Now you need to assign a new configuration with the new locale. Go to Configuration section and add a new configuration with some name to help you identify this is for the new locale. Of course you can assign the new locale to any existing configuration.
Then from the Room management you can edit, add new or start directly a new room by assigning the configuration with the Spanish locale to it.
Speech-to-text, Text-to-speech and Translate
LSV offers the possibility to transcribe voice to text, or the speech recognition module. It can be enabled from Configuration section of your Dashboard. The default language of the speech recognition is English. All the list of available languages can be seen here.
In addition to the speech recognition, there is a possibility to translate the transcribed text. You need to have a Google API key. In this tutorial is described how to get it.
After you get the key, it needs to be set in the Configuration section in the Dashboard.While typing a chat message your attendee will receive voice. This functionality can be combined with the translation module. For example, you speak in Spanish, your attendee will receive subtitled message and voice in English. Text to speech, together with the speech to text and the translation modules provide the ultimate facility for multilanguage video session tool.
Another option of the transcription module is to use voice commands. This can be enabled from the configuration section of Dashboard. Available commands are: ‘share room’, ‘new room’, ‘exit the room’, ‘start the audio’, ‘stop the audio’, ‘start the video’, ‘stop the video’, ‘start the screen’, ‘stop the screen’, ‘open the chat’, ‘send chat message’, ‘close the chat’, ‘open the whiteboard’, ‘close the whiteboard’, ‘start the recording’, ‘pause the recording’, ‘resume the recording’, ‘stop the recording’, ‘open the settings’, ‘close the settings’, ‘open a file’, ‘close a file’, ‘swap the camera’, ‘raise the hand’, ‘lower the hand’, ‘open email’, ‘stop the voice recognition’.
