ooh, thanks! is vdo.ninja proprietary? if so, maybe something like mediasoup would enable a self-hosted version?

i like the idea of joining half a dozen cellphones to a jitsi chat or similar, then recording all of the streams and allowing on-the-fly stream selection to change camera angles for the live stream



It’s self-hostable. Although im not seeing the link to their GitHub on the main vdo.ninja site. It’s linked to from their docs page though.

I think the streaming happens P2P either way. So if you don’t self host it I don’t think you incur a latency hit. It should route the video straight from phone->PC. It doesn’t route through their server as far as I know. (Edit: I stand corrected. Their docs mention an encrypted TURN server may get used if a direct connection isn’t possible)

I do use the self hosted version anyway. Was pretty easy to setup.


agpl, sweet!
