WebRTC calling, live broadcast, and video-on-demand

WebRTC is built for real-time, low-latency, bidirectional communication — 1:1 calls and group conferencing where every participant both sends and receives video, typically with latency under half a second. Live streaming (via HLS/DASH over a CDN) is built for one-to-many broadcast to large audiences, where a few seconds of latency is an acceptable trade-off for reaching thousands of viewers reliably. We choose the right protocol and architecture based on which pattern your product actually needs — some platforms need both.

It depends on your use case. Agora and Vonage are strong for WebRTC-based calling and conferencing (1:1 and group), with generous free tiers and fast time-to-market via SDKs. Wowza and Ant Media suit broadcast-style live streaming and VOD where you need more control over the media server, on-prem or hybrid hosting, or specific CDN integrations. We assess your latency needs, expected scale, and budget before recommending one — and we're not locked into reselling any single provider.

An SFU (selective forwarding unit) architecture supports roughly 40-50 active video participants in a single call, and considerably more in listen-only or 'raise to speak' formats. For audiences beyond that, we move to a broadcast model (one-to-many streaming) rather than full peer conferencing, since the two solve different problems.

Yes — we design telehealth video features with the access controls, encrypted transport, and audit logging that HIPAA-aware handling calls for, and we can recommend providers with signed BAAs available. That said, final compliance certification for your platform is your organization's legal responsibility; we build the technical foundation and recommend you validate it with your own compliance counsel.

Yes — these are commonly added on top of an existing WebRTC or provider SDK integration. Recording can run client-side, server-side, or via the provider's cloud recording feature depending on your retention and compliance needs; in-call chat and screen sharing are typically a matter of enabling and styling the provider's existing capability rather than building from scratch.

A focused 1:1 or small-group calling feature built on an existing SDK (Agora, Vonage) typically takes 6-10 weeks. Full live-broadcast or VOD platforms with transcoding, CDN delivery, and billing usually run 12-20 weeks depending on scale and feature depth. We share a working prototype early so you can test call quality before the full build is complete.

Cost depends on which pattern you need (1:1 calling, group conferencing, or broadcast/VOD), expected concurrent usage, and how much custom UI and backend logic is required around the core video layer. Provider usage fees (per-minute or per-GB) are separate from our build cost and scale with your traffic. We start with a free consultation to scope requirements, then send a fixed, itemized quote within one business day.

Yes — we work with clients internationally, including the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and the UAE. We schedule calls in your business hours, communicate in English, and handle contracts and invoicing internationally.

Streaming projects are engineering-heavy — real-time infrastructure, encoding pipelines, player UX — which makes the rate advantage of a senior Sri Lankan team especially significant. You get Agora, Vonage, and Wowza integration expertise at a fraction of US or UK agency cost.

Yes — VOD libraries with adaptive streaming, subscription and pay-per-view billing, live shopping with real-time chat and checkout, and creator platforms are all within scope. We build on proven streaming infrastructure rather than reinventing it, which keeps cost and time-to-launch down.
