 ## What is OpenVidu?
 
-OpenVidu is a platform for building real-time video conferencing applications.
-It's built on top of [LiveKit](https://livekit.io) and [mediasoup](https://mediasoup.org),
-and is developed by a team with over a decade of experience building WebRTC systems.
+OpenVidu is a self-hosted real-time video and audio stack, built on top of
+[LiveKit](https://livekit.io) and [mediasoup](https://mediasoup.org), and developed by a team
+with over a decade of experience building WebRTC systems. It ships as two products:
 
-- **Self-hosted**: deploy it on your own infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle,
-  DigitalOcean, on-premises) or use it as a managed service.
-- **API-compatible with LiveKit**: use any LiveKit client/server SDK unchanged.
-- **[OpenVidu Meet](https://github.com/OpenVidu/openvidu-meet)**: a fully-featured
-  video conferencing app that ships on top of this platform, ready to use or embed.
+### OpenVidu Meet
+
+**[OpenVidu Meet](https://openvidu.io/latest/meet/)** is a ready-to-use, self-hosted video
+conferencing application: an open-source alternative to Zoom, Google Meet and Jitsi Meet.
+
+**Using it requires no code.** You deploy it and it works — rooms, recordings, chat, screen
+sharing and moderation included. It is also highly customizable: brand it with your own name,
+logo and colours, and choose which features each participant gets.

+
+**With minimal effort it embeds into your own application**, through an `<iframe>` or the
+OpenVidu Meet **web component**, and is driven from your backend with a REST API and webhooks:

+
+### OpenVidu Platform
+
+**[OpenVidu Platform](https://openvidu.io/latest/docs/)** is the programmable client and server
+SDKs for building custom WebRTC applications with low-level control over media, on top of
+LiveKit and mediasoup. It is **API-compatible with LiveKit**: any LiveKit client/server SDK
+works unchanged.
+
+### Both products
+
+- **Self-hosted only**: deploy them on your own infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle,
+  DigitalOcean, on-premises). There is no hosted/SaaS tier: OpenVidu PRO is a paid, self-hosted
+  edition, and the OpenVidu team offers
+  [support and consultancy](https://openvidu.io/support/).
 - Advanced media features: recording, RTMP/streaming egress, AI agents (transcription,
   translation), virtual backgrounds, and more.
