Video & Audio
Video calls use WebRTC technology with SFU (Selective Forwarding Unit) routing for optimal performance. We do not record or store your calls unless you explicitly choose to enable recording.
All media streams are temporary and are not retained after your session ends. Screen sharing data follows the same policy.
