What is OpenVidu?
OpenVidu is a self-hosted real-time video and audio stack, built on top of
LiveKit and mediasoup, and developed by a team
with over a decade of experience building WebRTC systems. It ships as two products:
OpenVidu Meet
OpenVidu Meet is a ready-to-use, self-hosted video
conferencing application: an open-source alternative to Zoom, Google Meet and Jitsi Meet.
Using it requires no code. You deploy it and it works — rooms, recordings, chat, screen
sharing and moderation included. It is also highly customizable: brand it with your own name,
logo and colours, and choose which features each participant gets.
With minimal effort it embeds into your own application, through an <iframe> or the
OpenVidu Meet web component, and is driven from your backend with a REST API and webhooks:
OpenVidu Platform
OpenVidu Platform is the programmable client and server
SDKs for building custom WebRTC applications with low-level control over media, on top of
LiveKit and mediasoup. It is API-compatible with LiveKit: any LiveKit client/server SDK
works unchanged.
Both products
- Self-hosted only: deploy them on your own infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle,
DigitalOcean, on-premises). There is no hosted/SaaS tier: OpenVidu PRO is a paid, self-hosted
edition, and the OpenVidu team offers
support and consultancy.
- Advanced media features: recording, RTMP/streaming egress, AI agents (transcription,
translation), virtual backgrounds, and more.
