Meeting rooms

Persistent rooms, live stages, server-recorded sessions.

Rooms are addressable containers a live call runs inside. Schedule them, set a policy, give the host control, route through SFU when the audience scales, record to your bucket when it matters.

Use cases

What customers build with it

Rooms are the container. You decide what runs inside.

All-hands & town halls

Stage with one or two speakers, audience watches receive-only, raise-hand to ask, recording goes to your bucket.

Internal · Events

Live podcast recording

Multi-host call with SFU recording. Composite or per-track output, uploaded directly to your storage on stop.

Media · Production

Audio-only spaces

Twitter Spaces / Clubhouse-style rooms. Audio scales further than video, raise-hand promotes to speaker, host moderates.

Social · Community

Why DropOnAir for rooms

The room is a primitive, not a meeting type.

Policy-driven, not opinionated

One RoomPolicy controls capacity, waiting room, host requirement, auto-close. We don't decide if it's a webinar or a hangout — you do.

Stage mode, built in

Toggle stageMode: true and the room runs as a stage — speakers/audience roles, raise-hand, promote/demote. No bolt-on streaming product.

Server recording to your bucket

SFU-mode rooms record composite or per-track tracks. Uploaded straight to your S3 / GCS / Azure on stop. We don't keep a copy.

Scheduled or persistent

A room can have a scheduled start, an auto-close policy, or live forever. The lifecycle is yours to design.

Create & join in 4 lines

A room, a call, a recording — same API.

Rooms in the SDK →

// 1) Create a stage-mode room
const room = await client.createRoom({ policy: { stageMode: true, mediaMode: 'SFU' } });

// 2) Join (callId arrives on GROUP_CALL_JOINED)
await client.joinRoom(room.roomId);

// 3) Start recording → your bucket
await client.startSfuRecording(room.roomId, destinationId);
