## What it is
Vialer-js is a pluggable open-source WebRTC softphone and communication platform built with Vue, supporting SIP-over-WebRTC calling through a PBX as well as decentralized p2p calls. It can be built as a web app, Electron desktop app, or Chrome extension, and is extensively customizable via plugins. The project is explicitly no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- build a browser-based sip softphone with webrtc
- make voip calls from a chrome extension
- embed a customizable webrtc calling client in an electron app
- create a p2p video calling app without a pbx
- white-label a softphone for a corporate brand
- integrate sip calling with asterisk or freeswitch from the browser

## When to choose
- you need a highly customizable, plugin-based webrtc softphone base to fork
- you want sip and p2p calling unified in one client
- you need a softphone that ships as web, electron, and browser extension

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained product with recent security updates - the project is abandoned
- you want a turnkey softphone without development effort
- you need mobile (ios/android) support

## Facets
- artifact type: application
