How do you pronounce OpenVidu

OpenVidu v2 Issues developing apps
1

Hello community members,

My name is Peter. I started using OpenVidu about a week ago and am still new to it. I am so excited that I found this cool software and a video call app can be built so easily.

As a newbie, I have simple questions.

  1. How do you pronounce OpenVidu?
  2. Is Vidu a short for something? If so, what is it?

Thank you in advance.

Peter

Welcome to OpenVidu community @Peter_Sigma

Vidu comes from Esperanto:

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/vidu

It means “video” or “see” or something related with that :wink:

Thank you for the answer! I didn’t think it came from Esperanto!

And “Kurento” (media server inside OpenVidu) means “Stream” in Esperanto :wink:

Good to know too!

it precisely means the verb »see!« as an order (imperative, or more precisely “volitive” because it’s also used for subjonctive)

7

The word for ”stream” in esperanto is “fluo” (or “fluu” for the imperative verb, like vidu), and “kurento” means current (an electrical stream)

Good that it doesn’t come from catalan… :sweat_smile:
