Overview

Twilio is directing its Programmable Video users to migrate to Zoom SDK. If you're reading this, chances are you've used Zoom before. While it's a great tool for video conferencing, the Zoom SDK doesn't quite stand in as a strong replacement for Twilio Video.

Zoom SDK also leaves a heavy footprint of 75MB, compared to about ~1MB for Twilio Video and ~200KB GZIP for Dyte.

Dyte changes that. With Dyte, you get a single SDK that handles video/voice calls live streams and offers collaborative features out of the box. All that, and it takes you 10 minutes to integrate Dyte into your app. 

This page pits Zoom vs Twilio, goes over the pros and cons, and explains why Dyte is better than them.

4 places (of many) where Zoom SDK falls short

Limited Scalability

The maximum number of users supported in a real-time meeting is significantly low at only 300 participants, as compared to 15,000 with Twilio Video and Dyte.

Does Not Use WebRTC

Can complicate WebRTC connections, leading to issues with real-time call quality, camera input on custom browsers & features like acoustic echo cancellation.

No End-to-End Encryption

Surprising, isn't it? Zoom SDK does not offer the basic security feature that prevents potential interception or unauthorized access during transmission.

No AI/ML Middleware Support

Limits executing AI/ML algorithms for media processing tasks like noise reduction or adding advanced features like custom filters, transcription services, etc.
