Nettu Meet
Nettu-meet is a self-hosted video conferencing platform designed for professional and educational environments. It provides a comprehensive suite of real-time communication tools, including audio and video streaming, screen sharing, and collaborative digital whiteboards, to facilitate remote tutoring and group meetings.
The platform distinguishes itself through its focus on programmatic integration and organizational customization. It exposes a RESTful API that allows external systems to automate the scheduling and management of meeting sessions, enabling the integration of live video workflows into existing business applications. Additionally, the interface supports custom branding, allowing organizations to apply their own logos and visual themes to the meeting environment.
The system architecture relies on WebRTC for peer-to-peer media signaling and a selective forwarding unit to manage stream distribution and bandwidth. Real-time collaboration is supported by event-driven WebSocket communication, which synchronizes whiteboard state and text messaging across all connected participants.
