Janus is an open-source, general-purpose WebRTC server written in C that sets up media communication with browsers and relays RTP/RTCP and JSON messages between browsers and server-side application logic. Specific features like conference bridges, echo tests, media recorders, and SIP gateways are provided through a pluggable server-side plugin architecture.
Use cases
- build a video conferencing app in the browser
- self-host a WebRTC media server
- stream live audio and video to browsers
- bridge SIP calls to WebRTC
- record WebRTC media streams server-side
- create a webinar or live streaming platform
- relay RTP media between peers through a server
When to choose
- you need a lightweight, general-purpose WebRTC server you can extend with custom plugins
- you want to self-host media infrastructure on Linux with a small footprint
- you need SIP-to-WebRTC gatewaying or media recording
- you want a mature, battle-tested SFU with active development and community
When to avoid
- you need Windows-native support
- you want a turnkey video conferencing product rather than a server to build on
- you prefer managed cloud WebRTC services over self-hosting
- you need a solution in a language other than C
