• Does Isometrik utilize WebRTC technology?
  Isometrik indeed utilizes WebRTC technology, specifically employing a WebRTC SFU architecture to support its calls and streaming features. This approach ensures efficient media handling, scalability, reduced bandwidth usage, and high-quality, real-time communication across its Android, iOS, and web SDKs. How Isometrik Utilizes WebRTC SFU

  1. Efficient Media Handling: By using SFU, Isometrik can efficiently handle multiple video streams, ensuring low latency and high-quality communication.
  2. Scalability: SFU allows Isometrik to scale better than traditional peer-to-peer architectures, making it suitable for larger group calls and live streaming scenarios.
  3. Reduced Bandwidth: Instead of each participant sending their media streams to every other participant, streams are sent to the SFU, which then forwards the necessary streams to the respective participants. This significantly reduces the bandwidth requirement for each participant.
