We’re happy to announce the initial release of the Video SDK for Linux, which includes the features you are used to from Video SDK, such as:
-
Video SDK sessions that connect two or more users so that they can communicate over video, audio, chat, and other methods.
-
Sessions scoped to your Video SDK account, spun up on demand (meaning they do not need to be scheduled).
-
Session capacity of up to 1,000 users.
-
Live streaming a session to an unlimited view-audience using Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) on a platform like YouTube or to a custom endpoint.
-
Direct access to raw video and audio data on native platforms. This enables improved interaction between users and the app video stream.
-
For example, you could release a gaming video streaming app with direct interaction between the player and viewers based on in-game events or prompts from the community.
-
Or an augmented reality (AR) streaming platform with direct viewer access to on-screen video.
-
You can also use raw data to build custom live transcription or video or audio analysis.
