We’re happy to announce the initial release of the Video SDK for Linux, which includes the features you are used to from Video SDK, such as:

- Video SDK sessions that connect two or more users so that they can communicate over video, audio, chat, and other methods.

- Sessions scoped to your Video SDK account, spun up on demand (meaning they do not need to be scheduled).

- Session capacity of up to 1,000 users.

- Live streaming a session to an unlimited view-audience using Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) on a platform like YouTube or to a custom endpoint.

- Direct access to raw video and audio data on native platforms. This enables improved interaction between users and the app video stream.
