The record

Purpose: VDO.Ninja brings remote guests, smartphones, webcams, screen shares, and audio feeds into OBS Studio or other browser-enabled production software.
Technology: VDO.Ninja uses peer-to-peer WebRTC connections for live video, audio, and text.
Features: Rooms support group chat and tools to manage multiple guests.
OBS integration: A VIEW link can be added to OBS as a Browser Source to capture a remote feed.
Mobile apps: Native iOS and Android apps are available, and the docs describe them as basic apps for one-way audio and video publishing.
Android limitation: The native Android app supports screen sharing and can work in the background, but it can only publish and cannot view or listen to remote guests.
Self-hosting: The hosted service is also available as customizable, self-hostable code.
Privacy: The privacy policy says VDO.Ninja does not store call video, audio, or text after a session ends.
Security consideration: In direct peer-to-peer calls, a participant’s IP address and basic device or network information can be visible to other peers.
Relay limitation: SFU or Meshcast forwarding is not end-to-end encrypted by default, and server-side recording is technically possible.
Room capacity: A group room can handle up to around 30 guests depending on CPU and available bandwidth; the site says more than around seven guests will likely require disabling video sharing between guests.
Support: The docs recommend Reddit or Discord for community support and direct users to GitHub for bug reports, feature requests, and development issues.
Experimental feature: The site warns that media file streaming is experimental and advises against relying on it heavily for productions.
