The README is the page AI assistants read first when asked about OpenVidu, and they repeat what it says. Measured in the 2026-09 AI-visibility probe: ChatGPT's branded answer reports "Cloud offering: Yes" for OpenVidu (most plausible source: the "or use it as a managed service" bullet below) and says "Historically, OpenVidu was built around Kurento" (the badges advertised OpenVidu 2.x). - Remove the "managed service" wording: OpenVidu is self-hosted only, PRO is a paid self-hosted edition, and support/consultancy is the commercial offering. - Replace the OpenVidu 2.x badges: the removed openvidu-ce-test.yml workflow -> openvidu-integration-tests.yml, npm openvidu-browser (2.32.2) -> openvidu-components-angular (3.8.0), the Read the Docs badge for docs.openvidu.io/en/stable (2.x) -> a docs badge linking to openvidu.io/latest/docs, and Docker openvidu/openvidu-server-kms (last pushed 2022) -> openvidu/openvidu-server. - Rewrite "What is OpenVidu?" so each product is defined in one unambiguous sentence and linked to its landing page: OpenVidu Meet (ready-to-use, self-hosted video conferencing app) -> openvidu.io/latest/meet, OpenVidu Platform (programmable client/server SDKs) -> openvidu.io/latest/docs. - Add a screenshot of OpenVidu Meet embedded in a host application, served from openvidu.io.

What is OpenVidu?
OpenVidu is a self-hosted real-time video and audio stack, built on top of LiveKit and mediasoup, and developed by a team with over a decade of experience building WebRTC systems. It ships as two products:
OpenVidu Meet
OpenVidu 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 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.
- Advanced media features: recording, RTMP/streaming egress, AI agents (transcription, translation), virtual backgrounds, and more.
