who it's for

Who MiroTalk is for#

Privacy-focused teams hosting meetings

Use MiroTalk when calls should run under your domain and meeting data should stay away from a third-party conferencing account.

Skip if:

You need managed dial-in numbers, enterprise webinar tooling, or global support SLAs.

Communities needing unlimited rooms

Use MiroTalk for recurring community calls where time limits and room caps on free SaaS plans get in the way.

Skip if:

Most meetings have very large attendance or require webinar moderation features.

Developers embedding video rooms

Use MiroTalk when browser-based rooms and REST API access can fit into an existing product or support workflow.

the problem

The problem it solves#

Video conferencing becomes a control problem when meetings, recordings, and participant data depend on a vendor account. Free plans often restrict meeting length or branding, while paid plans scale by seat. Privacy-sensitive teams may also need meeting infrastructure that stays under their own domain and access controls.

how MiroTalk solves it

How it solves it#

Peer-to-peer WebRTC meetings

MiroTalk P2P uses direct WebRTC connections for browser-based audio and video. That keeps small meetings fast and avoids requiring desktop installs for participants.

Unlimited rooms and time

MiroTalk positions the self-hosted product around unlimited rooms and no meeting time limits compared with paid meeting tools.

Collaboration tools included

Screen sharing, recording, picture-in-picture, markdown chat, emoji, collaborative whiteboard, and file sharing cover the core needs of live meetings.

Security and access options

OIDC auth, host protection, JWT credentials, room passwords, and peer-to-peer encryption help control meeting access.

strengths · trade-offs

Strengths and trade-offs#

Strengths

  • Self-hosted meeting controlTeams can run MiroTalk on their own server and domain, which is a major difference from SaaS-only meeting tools.
  • Fast browser onboardingParticipants can join in supported browsers without a heavy client install. That suits ad hoc external calls and lightweight team meetings.
  • AGPL-3.0 source availabilityAGPLv3 licensing lets teams inspect and modify the meeting stack while respecting network copyleft obligations.

Trade-offs

  • -Self-hosting real-time media is operational workRunning video calls requires attention to server resources, network paths, TLS, and monitoring. Zoom remains easier if you want a managed global media network.
  • -P2P fits smaller meetings bestPeer-to-peer WebRTC can become harder to scale as rooms grow. Teams running large webinars should validate capacity before replacing managed conferencing.

Yes, when configured correctly. Host protection, room passwords, JWT credentials, OIDC auth, and peer-to-peer encryption options help restrict meeting access.
