The MUX_TOKEN_ID environment variable is missing

[TestCK]

Hi,

When I start up I get,

MuxError: The MUX_TOKEN_ID environment variable is missing or empty; either provide it, or instantiate the Mux client with an tokenId option, like new Mux({ tokenId: 'my token id' }

Is it mandatory to sign up for Mux to run the project?

It's not required. You can change the provider by one of these https://github.com/muxinc/next-video#hosting--processing-providers

i had the same issue . because i created my .env.local in another directory instead of the root directory
