OpenVidu Meet vs OpenVidu Platform#
OpenVidu offers two different products:
- OpenVidu Meet: a complete, high-quality video calling service designed to be self-hosted. Ideal for teams, businesses and organizations that need a reliable, secure and customizable video conferencing solution running on their servers.
- OpenVidu Platform: a solution comprised of a self-hosted deployment and a set of SDKs and APIs that greatly simplifies the development of any type of real-time application.
Both OpenVidu Meet and OpenVidu Platform provide production-grade performance, scalability, fault-tolerance and observability. What product should you choose?
- Give OpenVidu Meet a try if your use case falls under the category of "video conferencing application": e-learning, telehealth, team collaboration, customer support, etc. Don't mistake the simplicity for a lack of possibilities: OpenVidu Meet offers branding customizations and many features out-of-the-box, such as screen-sharing, recording, advanced chat, virtual backgrounds, and more coming soon: broadcasting, E2E encryption, AI agents...
- Choose OpenVidu Platform if you really need total control and flexibility to build your own custom real-time app, either from scratch or integrating OpenVidu Platform into your existing app. OpenVidu Platform provides low-level WebRTC SDKs for any language, and full control over features like audio/video/data streaming, media ingestion, telephony and AI integrations.
