Video CPaaS Providers.
Real-time and recorded video — eight providers with embeddable APIs and SDKs.
What this category covers
Video CPaaS splits into two distinct subcategories: real-time interactive video (1:1 calls, small groups, telehealth — Agora, Zoom Video SDK, Vonage Video) and large-scale broadcast / live streaming (Agora, Amazon Chime SDK with appropriate composition). Pricing models vary: per-participant-minute is most common, but watch for hidden transcoding and storage costs.
Who should read this
Teams building telehealth, edtech, social or live-streaming, or any application where interactive video is core to the user experience.
