## What it is
StarRTC is a free cross-platform real-time communication SDK and self-hostable server suite providing instant messaging, one-to-one video calls (VoIP), group chat, chatrooms, interactive live streaming, multi-party video meetings, and whiteboards. It ships SDKs for Android, iOS, Windows, Web, Linux, and embedded boards (Raspberry Pi, HiSilicon), is WebRTC-compatible, and supports P2P direct connections without a server.

## Use cases
- build a chat app with one-to-one and group messaging
- add video calling to my mobile app
- run a self-hosted video conferencing server
- build an interactive live streaming app with co-hosting
- create an online classroom with whiteboard and PDF sharing
- stream video from a Raspberry Pi or embedded board to a phone
- build a door intercom / video doorbell system
- make a WeChat-like or live-streaming-like app

## When to choose
- you need IM plus audio/video calling, meetings, and live streaming from one SDK
- you want a free self-hosted alternative to WebRTC platforms like Janus, Kurento, or Jitsi
- you need cross-platform interop across Android, iOS, web, Windows, and IoT hardware
- you want P2P direct connections that work without a server

## When to avoid
- you need fully open-source code - the core SDKs are binary/closed-source with no license
- you need actively maintained software - the last release was mid-2021
- you need standards-based WebRTC rather than a proprietary protocol, even if WebRTC-compatible
- you require commercial support guarantees or SLAs
