Tavus Avatar Integration Not Working

[shreeshailgan]

I'm trying to get the Tavus Avatar Integration running locally by following the instructions in
https://github.com/livekit-examples/python-agents-examples/tree/main/avatars/tavus

In the browser, my voice gets through correctly (I see correct transcripts appearing in the browser), but I don't hear any response in return. I also don't see any video window.

On the terminal side, the logs get stuck at

2025-08-05 13:04:17,420 - DEBUG livekit.agents - received user transcript {"user_transcript": "Hello?", "language": "en-US", "pid": 82967, "job_id": "AJ_ekQ4C6urRGVJ"}
2025-08-05 13:04:19,373 - DEBUG livekit.agents - waiting for the remote participant {"identity": "tavus-avatar-agent", "pid": 82967, "job_id": "AJ_ekQ4C6urRGVJ"}

I don't see any error messages, so I'm unable to figure out where the issue lies. Help would be appreciated.

I've also tried switching the avatar identity to that of the agent, still no video stream.
