Business video platform: integrable real-time infrastructure
Short answer
A business video platform is the full infrastructure stack for real-time communication: WebRTC, SFU, STUN/TURN, video API, signaling, authentication, and storage. Unlike a videoconferencing application, it is integrable infrastructure embedded into enterprise workflows.
Video platform vs videoconferencing application
| Video platform | Videoconferencing SaaS | |
|---|---|---|
| Nature | Infrastructure | Finished product |
| Integration | API, SDK, SSO | Limited |
| Branding | White label | Vendor brand |
| Hosting | France / on-prem | Vendor-imposed |
| Use cases | Multiple (via API) | Single journey |
| Target | IT, integrators | End user |

FAQ
Is a video platform the same as videoconferencing?
No: videoconferencing is one use case of the platform. The API also powers support, appointments, live streaming, and custom embeds.
Do you need to build the interface yourself?
No: Leagora products provide ready-made interfaces. The API also supports custom builds.
Is the platform multi-tenant?
Yes: tenant isolation, per-use configuration, white label per client.
Can the platform be deployed on-premise?
Yes: all components can run in the customer datacenter.
Does leagora.io sell the platform directly?
leagora.io documents the infrastructure. Commercial engagement goes through contact and group products.
Key takeaways
- Video platform = integrable infrastructure, not a videoconferencing app.
- WebRTC + SFU + API + France hosting = Leagora stack.
- leagora.io = documentation hub; business products on satellite sites.
