Open WebRTC Toolkit Media Server (formerly MediaServer) is a scalable SFU+MCU server for WebRTC video conferencing and streaming, with real-time transcoding and media analytics plugins. Intel has discontinued the project, citing known security escapes, and no longer accepts patches.
Use cases
- build a self-hosted video conferencing server
- scale one WebRTC stream to many viewers
- transcode WebRTC streams to HLS or RTMP
- run real-time analytics on live video streams
- mix multiple HD video streams into one
- stream video over RTSP and MPEG-DASH
When to choose
- you need an SFU/MCU with WebRTC, RTMP, HLS, and DASH support and accept unmaintained software
- you want Intel-optimized transcoding on Intel CPUs and can pin/fork the code
When to avoid
- you need security patches or active maintenance - the project is officially discontinued with known security escapes
- you want a supported WebRTC SFU - prefer actively maintained alternatives like LiveKit, mediasoup, or Jitsi
- you need non-Linux production deployment - builds target Ubuntu 18.04 and CentOS 7.6
