Open Source Video Conferencing
Vonage Video is a video API that allows businesses to build custom video experiences within various applications, supporting all video use-cases and providing advanced security features such as encryption, GDPR-compliance, and regional isolation. WebRTC is a free and open-source project enabling real-time communication between web browsers and mobile applications without the need for plugins or native applications. Vonage Open Source Conferencing and Recording uses the Vonage Video API Platform and provides a private web-based video conferencing solution that can be deployed on servers or tested with a demo version hosted by Vonage. Hosting one's own video conferencing software requires installing dependencies, defining API keys and secrets, configuring settings such as meeting rates and user limits, and customizing the UI. The service includes health status check endpoints to verify app connectivity and provides various configuration options for customization.
