"How many concurrent users can OvenMediaEngine accommodate?"

We now provide a way to test and fine-tune the WebRTC performance of OvenMediaEngine for your environment and purpose. We used our testing tool, OvenRtcTester, to easily simulate a situation where we connected thousands of players to the OvenMediaEngine, and the results were stable.

※ Please note that this benchmark was conducted in 2019 for reference only. We will update the latest benchmark data as soon as possible.

We have prepared an easy installation and usage guide for OvenMediaEngine. If you encounter any problems while testing OME, please feel free to email us.

OvenMediaEngine Enterprise

​OvenMediaEngine Enterprise is designed for enterprise users' needs that cannot be addressed by open-source, such as licensing issues, private support, or utilities. Also, It includes Beamr's state-of-the-art codec and allows you to provide a high-quality live stream service using low bitrates. So it can save more traffic than open-source codecs when transmitting videos of the same quality.

OvenSpace

OvenSpace is an Open-Source and Web Video Conferencing Example. It is basically developed with OvenMediaEngine as a Streaming Server and OvenPlayer as an HTML5 Player.
