With this API, developers can seamlessly integrate video communication features, offering users a unique and immersive video experience within their respective apps.
100ms is a platform that provides infrastructure and client-side SDKs for developers to build real-time, interactive audio-video experiences in their apps. It combines the capabilities of video conferencing (built over WebRTC), live streaming (built over HLS), and real-time databases.
How VideoSDK make a difference
When it comes to embedding real-time communications in your products, two popular options are 100ms and Vonage. Comparing the two, 100ms stands out with a more modern solution, providing easier-to-use APIs and built-in collaborative elements.
