How do Zoom and 100ms compare? And what does VideoSDK offer?
The Zoom Video SDK provides a reliable video conferencing experience similar to the original Client, but with added flexibility. It encompasses a wide range of services, including audio, video, chat, screen sharing, data streams, server-side APIs, and webhooks. This extensive set of features allows developers to create customized and immersive video communication experiences within their applications.
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
While considering options for embedding real-time communications in your products, both 100ms and Zoom are viable choices. 100ms provides a modern solution with user-friendly APIs and built-in collaborative elements.
