Jitsi Videobridge
Jitsi Videobridge is an open-source Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU) designed for developers to create scalable, high-quality video conferencing applications. Unlike traditional video mixing, it relays video streams, enabling thousands of simultaneous streams on a single server, even with modest CPU resources.
Key Features
- Open Source: Fully customizable to build tailored video solutions.
- Scalability: Handles large numbers of video streams efficiently, as demonstrated in performance evaluations.
- High Quality: Relays video instead of mixing for superior clarity.
- Easy Control: Manage via XMPP or HTTPS/REST with Colibri integration.
- Security: Supports call encryption with DTLS/SRTP.
Use Cases
- Developing multiparty video conferencing platforms.
- Integrating video capabilities into existing applications for businesses or communities.
- Creating secure, scalable communication tools for remote work or education.
Jitsi Videobridge is ideal for developers seeking a flexible, powerful foundation for video applications, supported by a vibrant open-source community and related projects like Jibri (recording/streaming) and Jicofo (conference focus).
