What is OBMeet.org® Foundation?
OBMeet.org® foundation is an open communication network that publishes OBMeet® open standard for secure, decentralised and real-time communication.It is maintained by the non-profit OBMeet.org® Foundation, we aim to create an open platform which is as independent, vibrant and evolving as the Web itself... but for communication.
OBMeet® also runs on Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates which encrypts all content sent from the server to the user’s web browser. For audio, video, and screen sharing, WebRTC libraries transmit Real-Time Protocol Packets (RTP) over user datagram protocol (UDP) via Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS), and all media packets are encrypted using Secure Real-Time Protocol (SRTP).
These all add up to a high level of built-in security for your streams. Finally, a unique room access code for each session is available and requires the meeting moderator’s explicit approval to admit new participants.

Recommended internet bandwidth 3 Mbps.
When sharing a webcam as a moderator, OBMeet® lets you select different presentation slide size ranges: 320x240, 640x480, or 1280x720. For bandwidth calculations, each resolution is roughly equivalent to a 0.25 Mbits/sec, 0.40 Mbits/sec, and 0.60 Mbits/sec video stream.
OBMeet® requires internet bandwidth of up to 3 Mbps to let you use most of its functions and features, including video calls and group calls. But you can use slower speeds for lower-tech tasks like one-on-one video calls and screen sharing, which take only around 0.58 Mbps
- Video conferencing: 1-4 Mbps
- Standard-definition video streaming: 3-4 Mbps
- High-definition video streaming: 5-8 Mbps
- Frequent large file downloading: 50 Mbps and up
For example, the bandwidth calculation for a room with 5 users and 5 webcams streaming is as follows:
- Incoming bandwidth: 5 * 1.25 = 1.25 Mbits/sec, or 3600 * 1.25 = 4.5 GBits/hr.
- Outgoing bandwidth: 5 * (5-1) *.25 = 5 Mbits/sec, or 3600 * 5 = 18 Gbits/hr.
