100ms.live

100ms is a developer tool that provides the backend infrastructure needed to add live video and audio features to applications. Instead of building complex video calling systems from scratch, developers can use 100ms's software development kits (SDKs) to integrate real-time communication directly into their web, iOS, or Android apps. This handles the difficult parts like managing connections, ensuring low latency, and scaling to accommodate many participants.

The platform offers a range of features designed for flexibility and reliability. Developers can customize the user interface to match their app's design, manage user roles and permissions for different types of participants (like hosts, speakers, and viewers), and access detailed quality metrics to monitor call performance. It is built to handle various scenarios, from a simple one-on-one call to a large interactive webinar with thousands of viewers.

This tool is ideal for development teams building applications that require real-time interaction. Use cases include adding video conferencing to a productivity app, creating a virtual classroom for an e-learning platform, building a telehealth service for patient-doctor consultations, or powering live audio rooms for a social community. It saves teams significant engineering time and resources by providing a ready-made, robust foundation for live video.
