Mirotalk
The MiroTalk project supports self-hosted, peer-to-peer browser video meetings using WebRTC.
About Mirotalk
MiroTalk (MiroTalk P2P) is an open-source, self-hosted WebRTC video conferencing project distributed as a GitHub repository. It uses direct peer-to-peer connections to create browser-based meeting rooms, which the project describes as needing no downloads and having no time limits, with unlimited concurrent rooms. Deployment is done on your own server through Docker, Node.js or a one-click install script, and the interface is offered in 133 languages. The project advertises video resolution up to 8K at 60fps.
Meeting capabilities include screen sharing, recording, picture-in-picture, file sharing, chat with Markdown and emoji, and a collaborative whiteboard. Access controls include room passwords, JWT credentials, OIDC authentication and host protection, alongside a REST API, an embeddable iframe and widget, and Slack and Mattermost integrations. Some features depend on external services: the ChatGPT integration uses OpenAI, and camera background effects load MediaPipe Tasks Vision and its WASM files from jsDelivr plus the selfie segmentation model from Google Storage, so those hosts must be reachable and permitted by any custom content security policy. Background effects require WebGL2 and canvas capture, are capped at 1280 x 720 and 15 FPS, and fall back to the plain camera if they fail.
