An open-source (AGPLv3) WebRTC video conferencing app with screen sharing, live chat, a collaborative whiteboard, file sharing, and in-browser recording. It ships in two architectures: MiroTalk (P2P, direct peer-to-peer connections) and MiroTalk SFU (Selective Forwarding Unit, for larger multi-party rooms). Both can be deployed via Docker or Node.js, or used on the hosted demo instances.
A user opens the site in a browser, picks or generates a room name, and shares the room link with others; participants join directly through the link with no downloads, plugins, or sign-up required.
