Building high-quality, low-latency video experiences used to be a massive undertaking. Thankfully, modern video sdk solutions have changed the game. Whether you’re crafting a telehealth platform, a social media app, or a collaborative workspace, integrating real-time video calling can now take minutes instead of months. That’s where CometChat comes in.

Why Choose a Dedicated Video SDK?

When your app relies on seamless communication, you need more than generic APIs. A specialized video sdk offers:

• Ultra-low latency for crystal-clear, real-time video
• Built-in scaling to handle 1:1 calls or large group streams
• Automatic quality optimization and adaptive bandwidth management
• Features like screen sharing, recording, and custom layouts out of the box

Rolling your own infrastructure for these capabilities is time-consuming and expensive. CometChat’s video sdk handles edge networking, global distribution, and security so you can focus on your core features.
