“One of COVID-19’s most significant consequences is the social isolation millions of people feel,” said Sendbird founder and CEO John Kim. “By bringing voice and video into popular apps, Sendbird can help foster a more human experience in online interactions, reducing feelings of isolation by connecting users in a highly personal way. This is why we are now offering a self service option for our Sendbird Calls APIs. We want to make it as easy as possible for anyone to add voice and video calling into their applications. We believe that by doing so, we can help each other through these unprecedented times with our humanity in check.”

Since debuting in March, Sendbird has prioritized incorporating new features to the popular Sendbird Calls APIs to enhance both the Calls platform and user experience.
The latest release offers:
- Peer-to-Peer Calling: Provides a high quality, cost-effective option with lower latency.
- Call Event Webhooks: Offer a simple way for separate systems to be integrated together. This enables users to create an action in response to an event, such as sending or receiving notifications from connected IoT devices.
- On-Device Photo Capture: Allows users to trigger a snapshot from their camera to preserve a moment or key information from a call and store the image on their device, gaining full control of it.
- Device-Side Audio and Video Recording: Ensures that on-device recording is completely private. In contrast to cloud recording, users can save the audio and video files on their device. This feature optimizes the recording quality and protects the confidentiality of sensitive content.
