Low-latency audio and video
A self-hosted media core carries live audio and video for one to one calls and larger rooms, so conversations feel natural without a paid external service in the path.
The realtime media core
Live audio and video that stays on infrastructure you control
RoomHex carries every meeting, class, shared screening, and activity on a self-hosted media core, with secure admission for each session and no paid external media service in the path.
- Low-latency audio and video
- Secure admission per session
- Relay fallback for hard networks
- No paid external media service
What the media core provides today
A working foundation, not a promise
The realtime layer is the part of RoomHex that already runs. It moves audio and video with low latency and protects who is allowed into each session.
Secure admission for every session
No one reaches live media on their own. Each participant must be admitted first, so only approved people can see and hear a session.
Short-lived per-session access
Access to a session is scoped and short-lived, granted for the room a person is joining and not reusable elsewhere, which keeps the door narrow and time-limited.
Audio and video device controls
Participants manage their microphone and camera during a session, so people control what they share and hosts keep a clear picture of the room.
Relay fallback and reconnect
When a network path is restrictive, media routes through a relay instead of failing, and dropped connections are handled so a brief network hiccup does not end the session.
Runs on self-hosted components
The media core and its abuse defenses, including per-client rate limiting, run entirely on components your organization operates, with no paid external media service required.
Resilient by design
Built to hold up on real networks
Real networks are messy. RoomHex already handles hard paths and brief drops today, and it is designed to grow into region-aware planning and multi-server topology so media stays close to the people using it as you expand.
- Relay fallback and reconnect handling work today
- Region-aware media planning is designed to keep sessions close to users
- Multi-server and multi-region topology is designed for growth
What it powers
One media core behind every way you meet
The same realtime core carries meetings and calls today and is the foundation the wider experiences are built on, from live classes to shared screenings and interactive activities. Media health visibility is designed so operators can see how sessions are holding up.
- Meetings and calls run on the working media core today
- Classrooms, shared cinema, and activities are built on the same foundation
- Media health visibility is designed for operators and support
