Janus

Janus is an open source, general purpose, WebRTC server designed and developed by Meetecho. This version of the server is tailored for Linux systems, although it can be compiled for, and installed on, MacOS machines as well. Windows is not supported, but if that's a requirement, Janus is known to work in the "Windows Subsystem for Linux" on Windows 10: do NOT trust repos that provide .exe builds of Janus, they are not official and will not be supported.

For some online demos and documentations, make sure you pay the project website a visit!

Note well: this is the main branch for the multistream version of Janus, which is the new version. If you want to check the legacy version of Janus instead (i.e., 0.x, a.k.a. "legacy") click here instead.
