The technologies behind
The client needed to move fast — their team planned to roll out an app ASAP. We proposed using our customizable video conferencing engine, VidRTC, as the core, then tailoring it to e-commerce needs.
VidRTC is based on the peer-to-peer technology WebRTC, which works well for broadcasting. It saved half a month of development and let us spend more time on a polished UI.
Another technology worth mentioning is AI translation powered by Microsoft Azure, which lets buyers connect with audiences around the world.
