Hi all,

I am new to this forum, and would like to thank the developers of OpenVidu for offering this tool.

I am trying to explore if our organization can use OpenVidu for our requirements. Our basic need is as follows: We want to set up a video conferencing system where  
a) the host and co-hosts can see the videos of all participants  
b) The participants can only see the video of the host and they cannot see the videos of other paricipants.

I am wondering if it is possible to implement this feature in OpenVidu.

Thank you for your help!  
Sincerely,  
Vishesh

Thank you for considering OpenVidu for your business.

OpenVidu is a WebRTC platform that allow you add videoconference to your application.

You can create the application logic as you want using OpenVidu. If you want the participants just cant see a specific video, you should add this logic to your app. It is related to your application, this is not openvidu’s responsibility.

So yes, you can implement this both features.
