# ApiRTC — Cloud-Based WebRTC PaaS

## What is ApiRTC?

ApiRTC is a cloud-based WebRTC Platform as a Service (PaaS) developed and maintained by Apizee, a French technology company headquartered in Lannion, France. It enables developers to embed real-time video calls, audio calls, instant messaging, screen sharing, file transfer, and live collaboration into any web or mobile application.

ApiRTC abstracts the complexity of WebRTC infrastructure: STUN/TURN servers, NAT traversal, SFU media servers, and signaling are entirely managed by Apizee's cloud. Developers integrate a JavaScript library or use a REST API.

## Key Capabilities

- **Audio calls**: browser-based voice calls and web conferences, SIP interoperability

- **Recording & Replay**: server-side recording with media storage
- **Whiteboard**: collaborative drawing and annotation
- **Live streaming**: RTMP publishing to external servers (YouTube, etc.)
- **Bluetooth (BLE)**: transfer data from Bluetooth devices in a conversation context
- **QoS & Statistics**: real-time quality monitoring and usage analytics

## Supported Platforms
