About ZEGOCLOUD
What is ZEGOCLOUD?
ZEGOCLOUD is a real-time interaction platform that provides APIs, SDKs, and UIKits to embed voice calls, video calls, live streaming, in-app chat, and AI-powered features (like AI Effects and Digital Human) into your application. It handles the complex infrastructure — signaling, media routing, scaling — so your team can focus on product experience.
What problem does it solve?
Building reliable real-time communication from scratch is time-consuming and technically demanding. ZEGOCLOUD eliminates that burden, offering low-latency (under 200ms) media transmission across iOS, Android, Web, Flutter, and React Native. Whether you need one-on-one calls or live broadcasts to thousands, it scales on demand.
Who is it for?
ZEGOCLOUD is best for developers, startups, and product teams — especially in edtech, telehealth, social apps, and e-commerce — who need to add audio/video or chat quickly. It is not ideal for teams wanting a fully no-code solution, as integration requires development effort.
Real use cases
Use ZEGOCLOUD to power telemedicine sessions, virtual classrooms, social audio rooms, live shopping events, or collaborative whiteboarding (via Super Board). Its 20+ pre-built UIKits help you launch faster.
