Secure Zoom Meeting SDK Implementation: Enterprise Authentication with Zero-Trust Principles
Enterprise video SDK integrations frequently expose critical security vulnerabilities. Client-side secrets, unvalidated webhooks, and bypassed authentication layers create attack vectors that persist in production systems. These implementations typically function correctly during development, but fail security audits and present significant risks in enterprise environments. We've built a real-time video platform architecture that addresses these fundamental security gaps. The implementation uses the Zoom Meeting SDK as the video foundation, chosen for its comprehensive enterprise feature set, embedded

Why Postman Is Our Go‑To API Testing Tool and How We Use It
At WebRTC.ventures, quality testing is at the heart of everything we do. Robust API testing is the foundation of reliable performance, especially for WebRTC applications and AI integrations which depend on real-time performance and consistent connectivity. In our QA testing lab here in Panama City, Panama, we simulate real-world scenarios and network conditions to ensure APIs don't just work, but perform reliably under pressure. That's why Postman is one of our favorite tools in the
My Experience as a WebRTC.ventures QA Intern
My name is Octavio Alvarado and I study Software Engineering at the Technological University of Panama, currently in my fifth year of my degree. I was part of the UTP's Professional Internship program, which allows students to join companies according to their skills and profiles. Through this program, I had the opportunity to work with the Quality Assurance and WebRTC testing team at WebRTC.ventures, an experience that has been very enriching for my professional development.

Scalable WebRTC VoIP Infrastructure Architecture: Essential DevOps Practices
WebRTC VoIP systems enable voice calling directly through web browsers and mobile apps without requiring any software downloads or plugins. This makes them ideal for customer support platforms, telehealth consultations, sales calls, and any application where you want to add voice communication without asking people to install additional software. These systems are more flexible than traditional phone systems, but they also create operational challenges for DevOps teams. Instead of managing hardware-based PBX systems, you're now

3 Ways to Deploy Voice AI Agents: Managed Services, Managed Compute, and Self-Hosted
Voice AI agents have unique deployment needs. Operational complexity multiplies quickly. You're not just deploying code; you're orchestrating real-time audio pipelines that need to maintain call quality under load, coordinate between AI services that each have their own scaling characteristics, and handle the networking complexities of audio delivery across diverse client environments. When choosing a deployment strategy, you'll find three main options, each making different trade-offs: Managed services handle all infrastructure but limit customization Serverless

The WebRTC Monitoring Gap: Why Users Complain When Your Dashboards Look Perfect
If you've worked with WebRTC applications long enough, you've probably heard these complaints: "The video froze, but I could still hear them." "The audio kept cutting in and out." "The call just dropped for no reason." You check your application performance monitoring (APM) dashboard and everything looks normal. Server CPU is steady, error logs are quiet, infrastructure metrics are green. So what happened? Traditional monitoring tools were built for backend systems, not for catching the
Embed or Create? Zoom Web SDK Guide: Meeting vs Video
If you’re looking to integrate Zoom into your web application, you have two main options: the Meeting SDK and the Video SDK. While both run in the browser, support popular frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular, and use JWT for authentication, they’re designed for very different purposes. Understanding the differences will help you decide which SDK fits your project best. In this post, we will take a look at how they work and break down

The AI Evolution of Phone Authentication: From Insecure PIN Pain to Voice Biometric Gain
In an era where artificial intelligence is transforming every aspect of customer service, Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems remain a critical touchpoint for millions of daily interactions across call centers and customer service departments. As explored in my previous article on "Building a Smart IVR Agent System with LiveKit Voice AI", conversational AI has revolutionized the IVR space. Yet, traditional phone authentication systems have proven insecure and create friction that drives customers away, adding a

Why WebRTC Remains Deceptively Complex in 2025
When WebRTC was first introduced by Google over a decade ago, it came with the promise of simplicity. “Just drop in a little JavaScript and you’ve got video chat in the browser with no downloads necessary!” While that vision helped kickstart a wave of innovation in real-time communication, the reality has always been more complex. Especially when building real-time communication apps at scale. At WebRTC.ventures, we regularly hear from teams who have working demos that

Alberto Gonzalez to Present at ClueCon on Cutting Latency and Cost with SLMs and Open Source Voice AI
AI-powered voice agents are transforming communications across industries like telecom, healthcare, and enterprise customer service. But delivering low-latency, natural-sounding AI responses in real time at low costs remains a major challenge. Leveraging the “lightweight AI” of Small Language Models (SLMs) and free open-source stacks can help overcome the latency and cost barriers of real-time voice AI. At ClueCon 2025, taking place in Chicago from August 4–7, WebRTC.ventures CTO Alberto Gonzalez will give a talk entitled,

Peermetrics WebRTC Analytics Platform Review: Open-Source Monitoring & Debugging
WebRTC applications present unique operational challenges that traditional monitoring tools cannot address. Unlike conventional web applications, real-time communication systems operate with complex peer-to-peer connections, dynamic network conditions, and media processing pipelines that can fail silently or degrade gradually. The primary challenge lies in observability. WebRTC applications generate extensive telemetry data for example, ICE candidate exchanges, DTLS handshakes, media statistics, and network quality metrics, but this data remains largely inaccessible to development teams.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have dominated conversations about AI integration in WebRTC, particularly when it comes to voice-based features like transcription, summarization, and intent detection. But there’s an emerging layer that many outside of research circles are missing: Vision Language Models (VLMs). Unlike LLMs, which work with text and speech, VLMs are capable of understanding and generating language based on visual inputs—opening up new possibilities for analyzing what’s happening on camera during a WebRTC session.
