                 How does OpenVidu work?                 

WebRTC is the ultimate responsible for all media transmission at the very                     heart of OpenVidu. WebRTC is a modern,                     cross-platform framework that democratizes media transmission over the Internet. It is promoted by                     Google,                     Mozilla, Opera and others.

                

OpenVidu wraps and hides all the low-level operations. The main goal we                     pursue is to provide a                      simple, effective, easy- to-use API so you can                     forget about WebRTC, ICE                     candidates and media server tricky stuff. Just include the OpenVidu client-side and                     OpenVidu Server for handling the media flows. To securize your video-calls from your backend, you                     can                     make use of one of the available backend-clients or simply consume the REST API exposed by OpenVidu                     Server.
