For years I have been testing at least half a dozen other OSS systems without luck, either due to flawed installation instructions, lacking functionality or unstable and unsupported systems.

My requirements were: self-hosting, recording, simple and well-specified NAT/FW setup and recording of both/all participants.

Until presently I had never heard of openVidu, but an AI search mentioned it, at it took only a couple of hours to have a running system.

Thank you so much for your effort and this great system.

Hi @hvillemoes ,

Thank you very much for your kind words! We’re truly glad to hear that OpenVidu met your needs after your long search for a reliable self-hosted solution. It’s great to know that the setup was smooth and that the platform works as you expected 🙂
