Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Ask HN: Why is there no enterprise grade open-source zoom alternative?
There's nothing particularly difficult on the server side — a quality SFU should be capable to handle on the order of 400 video flows per core, and there are quite a few high-quality free software SFUs available (Janus, Jitsi, ion-sfu, livekit, Galene). To give some perspective: we're using Galene for lectures, and our single-CPU server uses around 40% CPU usage in a room with 120 students (who keep their cameras switched off during the lecture, of course, and only occasionally switch them on to ask questions).
As the grandparent mentioned, the problem is the client side. Since there is no standard videoconferencing protocol, every free software project needs to develop their own clients. And it's difficult for a free software project to have the manpower and expertise to develop quality clients for the web, Android and iOS, so in effect what we currently have are mostly half-baked web clients.
There is some hope, though. The IETF have been working on standard protocols for ingress (https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/wish/), and if their protocols get deployed, you'll be able to use the same streaming software (think OBS) or IP camera with multiple distinct videoconferencing servers. An interoperable interactive videoconferencing protocol is nowhere near, but as more people understand videoconferencing technology, there is some hope that people will get together and start working on multi-protocol clients (remember Pidgin?).
Full disclosure: I'm the author of Galene (https://galene.org), and I've been actively participating in the Pion community (https://github.com/pion/webrtc) and collaborating with the authors of ion-sfu (https://github.com/pion/ion-sfu) and LiveKit (https://github.com/livekit).

LiveKit – open-source infrastructure for real time audio and video
Really appreciate that they have a Protocol project, really helps quickly get a sense of what's under the hood. It's just a bunch of protobuf messages, but that's a super helpful reference, and nice to not have it embedded in one of the various other projects: https://github.com/livekit/protocol
Notably using the well known extremely well reputed super battle hardened Pion sfu, ion: https://github.com/pion/ion-sfu

What is the best WEBRTC for a rapid deploy
Check out livekit, have been working with it for 2 months and you can quite easily set up things. Really promising project: https://docs.livekit.io
-
free code to embed zoom-level quality video/audio in any app
Check out our docs on how the platform can support multiple (separate) rooms with 100s of members. We know how important good documentation is, so if there's any gaps you see lemme know and we will add to it asap!!

Introducing LiveKit - a WebRTC video conferencing server in Go
We are LiveKit (David, David, and Russ). We've been working on an open source project that lets you run your own WebRTC SFU instead of having to rely on hosted providers like Agora or Twilio. I'd love to get feedback from the Go community on Reddit.
What are some alternatives?
peer-calls - Group peer to peer video calls for everyone written in Go and TypeScript
Pion WebRTC - Pure Go implementation of the WebRTC API
ion - Real-Distributed RTC System by pure Go and Flutter
openvidu - OpenVidu Platform main repository
kratos - Your ultimate Go microservices framework for the cloud-native era.
rtsp-simple-server - Also known as rtsp-simple-server. ready-to-use RTSP / RTMP / LL-HLS / WebRTC server and proxy that allows to read, publish and proxy video and audio streams. [Moved to: https://github.com/aler9/mediamtx]
protocol - LiveKit protocol. Protobuf definitions for LiveKit's signaling protocol
turn - Pion TURN, an API for building TURN clients and servers
Ether1 - Official Go implementation of The Etho Protocol
janus-gateway - Janus WebRTC Server
mirotalk - 🚀 WebRTC - P2P - Simple, Secure, Fast Real-Time Video Conferences Up to 4k and 60fps, compatible with all browsers and platforms.
