## What is OpenVidu?

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:

### 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 that
needs no code to deploy, and that you can embed in your own product through a web component,
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.
