MiroTalk SFU is a self-hosted, open-source WebRTC video conferencing platform that enables real-time communication and collaboration using a scalable Selective Forwarding Unit architecture.
The platform addresses the need for organizations to maintain control over their communication infrastructure and data privacy. Rather than relying on third-party services, it allows deployment on your own servers using mediasoup SFU architecture, which efficiently handles media routing for multiple participants. The approach eliminates vendor lock-in and provides full control over infrastructure, data, and privacy policies.
Organizations seeking an alternative to commercial platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, Jitsi Meet, or Microsoft Teams should consider this tool, particularly those with self-hosting capabilities and infrastructure management resources. The platform supports video conferencing, screen sharing, file sharing, live streaming, and webinar functionality. It is suitable for teams and organizations that prioritize data sovereignty and want to avoid subscription dependencies on external providers. The tool positions itself as a modern alternative to the named commercial platforms, offering comparable features within a self-hosted model.
Development activity shows consistent engagement with the codebase through regular commits. The project maintains an active community presence through Discord channels. Docker support is available for simplified deployment and scaling. The tool is built on JavaScript and Node.js, making it accessible to developers familiar with web technologies.
