Build real-time video, live streaming and AI communication into your app. Pay per minute through your Microsoft invoice, with no contract and no minimum spend.
VideoSDK gives developers the SDKs and infrastructure to add real-time video, voice, live streaming and AI voice agents to an app. It is now listed on Microsoft Marketplace, the single place that brings Azure Marketplace and AppSource together.
There is one plan, Pay as you go. You pay for the minutes you use.
What you gain by buying through Microsoft
- VideoSDK usage is billed through the Microsoft invoice you already get.
- There is no commitment, no minimum spend and no base platform fee.
- You manage the subscription from the Azure portal.
- If you need custom terms, the listing has a Request private offer button.
What the Pay as you go plan includes
- Audio and video calling on web, mobile and desktop
- Interactive live streaming
- Cloud recording in SD, HD and Full-HD
- RTMP simulcast to YouTube, Facebook or any RTMP destination
- Session quality analytics on every session, at no extra cost
- SDKs for JavaScript, React, React Native, Android, iOS, Flutter, Python and Unity, plus REST APIs and webhooks
Compliance add-ons are available on this plan too: HIPAA with a Business Associate Agreement, SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR and CERT-In.
What it costs
Every rate is per minute, and the charges come through your Microsoft invoice.
| What you use | Rate |
|---|---|
| Audio call | $0.001 per participant per minute |
| HD video call | $0.004 per participant per minute |
| Live stream viewers | from $0.0005 per viewer minute |
| HD cloud recording | $0.015 per minute |
| Recording storage | $0.003 per minute |
| RTMP simulcast | $0.03 per minute |
A one-hour HD video call with four people is 240 participant-minutes, which comes to $0.96.
Each resolution has its own rate, so you pay more only when you go to Full-HD or above. The full list is under Plans + Pricing on the listing.
Three ways to run VideoSDK with Azure
| Option | How it works | Pricing |
|---|---|---|
| Fully managed | VideoSDK manages the infrastructure, deployment, scaling and operations. | Usage-based |
| Hybrid | VideoSDK runs the real-time infrastructure. Recordings and data are stored in your own Azure Blob Storage. | Usage-based |
| Customer-hosted | VideoSDK is deployed inside your own Azure subscription. You control deployment, networking, security and data. | Fixed license fee, unlimited usage |
You can connect your own Azure Blob Storage for recordings from the VideoSDK dashboard. For customer-hosted, contact us first.
What you can build
Calling and live streaming are the base. On top of them you can add:
- Live transcription and captions, plus transcripts and summaries after the call
- SIP Connect, which brings phone calls into your VideoSDK meetings
- AI voice agents with turn detection, interruption handling and memory. They can run on Azure OpenAI models through our Azure OpenAI plugin.
