Built on mediasoup, a Selective Forwarding Unit. The server relays your audio and video to other people in the room — it does not record, inspect, or process your calls. All media is encrypted end-to-hop with SRTP and DTLS.
When you hit "Record", the file is created in your browser (as a Blob) and downloaded to your device. It is never uploaded to our servers. Server-side recording is disabled by default.
Everything is ephemeral. Display names, chat messages, and session data only exist while the room is active — once it ends, they're gone. We don't record calls, ask for payment info, or collect sensitive personal data.
We use Umami, a privacy-friendly analytics tool with no cookies and no PII. GDPR, CCPA, and PECR compliant. Small bits of data (display name, room prefs) may live in your browser — purely functional.
Server logs are streamed to the console and not stored on disk; only error-level logs are on by default. Chat and session data disappear when the room ends unless the host has set up persistence.
SRTP/DTLS for media, TLS/HTTPS for traffic, hardened infrastructure. No system is bulletproof — if you spot a vulnerability, please let us know.
SomaTalk may connect to RTMP endpoints, CDNs, or other APIs. Each has its own privacy policy — please review theirs. We're not responsible for how third parties handle data on their end.
Open-source — anyone can host their own instance; if you use someone else's, they are responsible for privacy. We may update this policy; the "Last updated" date will reflect changes.
By continuing you accept the policy above.
