What's under the hood of CVS?

CVS is an open-source WebRTC based server with the client designed and developed on top of Janus. The server is tailored in Python and can be easily integrated into any existing project. The client-side is currently tailored in the form of React SDK for the web browser-based client. For mobiles, CVS is currently limited to Android.

Design goals

CVS server-side library and its client-side SDKs are designed to accomplish the following goals:

• Support WebRTC for input and output;
• Python module on the server-side;
• React SDK on the client-side on the web;
• Android SDK for Mobile side clients;
• Be minimalistic: just handle the media layer;
• Be super low-level API;
• Support all existing WebRTC endpoints.
