MikroRoom

MikroRoom is a self-hosted, ultralight video conferencing platform for teams that prioritizes control, simplicity, and direct peer-to-peer connections.

Description

MikroRoom is an ultralight, self-hosted video conferencing platform designed for teams seeking full control over their meetings. It provides a clean, fast solution without expensive per-seat pricing or vendor lock-in, using P2P WebRTC connections for high-quality video and audio that flow directly between participants.
