How does OpenVidu work?
WebRTC is the ultimate responsible for all media transmission at the very heart of OpenVidu. WebRTC is a modern, cross-platform framework that democratizes media transmission over the Internet. It is promoted by Google, Mozilla, Opera and others.
OpenVidu wraps and hides all the low-level operations. The main goal we pursue is to provide a simple, effective, easy-to-use API so you can forget about WebRTC, ICE candidates and media server tricky stuff. Just include the OpenVidu client-side and OpenVidu Server for handling the media flows. To securize your video-calls from your backend, you can make use of one of the available backend-clients or simply consume the REST API exposed by OpenVidu Server.
