Licode is an open-source WebRTC communications platform for hosting your own videoconference provider, built around the C++ Erizo MCU, a Node.js Erizo API, an Erizo Controller for rooms, and the Nuve management API. It offers client-side and server-side APIs for building videoconferencing, streaming, and recording applications.

Use cases

• host my own webrtc videoconference server
• build a video chat app in the browser
• self-hosted video conferencing platform
• add live streaming and recording to my web app
• webrtc mcu for multiparty calls
• manage rooms and users with a server-side api

When to choose

• you want to self-host a WebRTC multipoint conference service
• you need browser-based video calls with no plugins
• you need server-side APIs to manage rooms, users, and services
• you want streaming or recording on top of WebRTC

When to avoid

• you only need simple peer-to-peer calls without an MCU
• you want a fully managed SaaS video API
• you need a lightweight SFU rather than a full platform
• you need guaranteed support for the latest WebRTC features in modern browsers
