## What it is
Kurento Media Server is a C++/GStreamer-based media server that handles media transmission, processing, recording, and streaming over WebRTC, RTP, and HTTP. It supports SFU/MCU group communications, transcoding, media storage in WebM/MP4, and pluggable computer vision and augmented reality filters.

## Use cases
- build a video conferencing app with webrtc
- self-host an sfu for group video calls
- record webrtc streams to mp4 or webm
- transcode live media streams between codecs
- apply computer vision filters to live video streams
- stream media over rtp and http

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted WebRTC media server with SFU capabilities
- you want server-side media processing, recording, or transcoding
- you need GStreamer-based filters like computer vision or augmented reality on live streams

## When to avoid
- you want a fully managed cloud media service
- you need a lightweight client-side-only WebRTC solution
- you require active development on this specific repo, since it is archived and migrated to the Kurento monorepo
