OpenVidu is a self-hosted, open-source video conferencing platform and WebRTC SDK suite, built as a LiveKit fork with mediasoup as its SFU engine. It ships both a ready-to-use video calling app (OpenVidu Meet) and low-level client/server SDKs (OpenVidu Platform) for building custom real-time video, audio, and streaming applications.
Use cases
- self-host a video conferencing service on my own servers
- add video calls to my web or mobile app
- build a custom live-streaming platform with low latency
- embed telehealth video consultations into an existing app
- run an e-learning platform with virtual classrooms
- record and broadcast multi-party meetings with custom layouts
- keep user video data private on my own infrastructure
When to choose
- you need production-grade WebRTC video that you fully self-host for privacy or cost reasons
- you want low-level control over codecs, bitrates, recording, and streaming layouts
- you want LiveKit API compatibility with better single-server performance via mediasoup
- you need a ready-made, brandable video conferencing app out of the box
- you need horizontal scalability and fault tolerance for many simultaneous rooms
When to avoid
- you only need simple peer-to-peer calls without server infrastructure
- you prefer a fully managed SaaS video API and don't want to operate servers
- you need multi-node scaling or high availability but only want free open-source tooling (those are PRO, paid)
- your use case is asynchronous video messaging rather than real-time communication
