Hello again, I was trying to use openVidu with js API but I didn’t found any public server for my first test. So, openVidu only works with self-host? and the pro version is hosted by openVidu or I have to configure the server too?

You can also test the api with [demos.openvidu.io](http://demos.openvidu.io) (Don’t create an application on top of it, it is just for tutorials and demos 😉 )
