videocall.rs is an open-source, low-latency video conferencing platform and streaming API written entirely in Rust, built on WebTransport (HTTP/3/QUIC) with a WebSocket fallback instead of WebRTC. It ships relay servers, a meetings API, a browser client, a native CLI, and mobile SDKs, and is self-hostable under MIT/Apache-2.0.

Use cases

• self-host a zoom alternative for video calls
• stream low-latency video from a raspberry pi or drone
• build a custom video chat app in rust
• stream robot or embedded device camera feeds to a browser
• replace webrtc with webtransport/quic for real-time media
• embed a wasm video client in my own application

When to choose

• you want a self-hosted, open-source video conferencing stack
• you need low-latency streaming from robots, drones, or embedded Linux boards
• you prefer Rust end-to-end and want to avoid the WebRTC stack
• you need browser, CLI, and mobile SDK clients on one transport

When to avoid

• you need a turnkey, polished conferencing product with enterprise support
• your target browsers lack WebTransport support and WebSocket fallback is insufficient
• you need battle-tested maturity for mission-critical workloads (project is beta)
