Platform capabilities

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Relay handles the hard parts of real-time communication so your team ships product features, not infrastructure.

Managed Video Rooms

Create rooms via REST. Participants join with signed tokens — no WebRTC wiring on your server. Sub-200ms latency globally.

Automatic Recording

Set record: true when creating a hall. Sessions are stored directly to your own S3 bucket — you own the data.

AI Content Moderation

Video Intelligence scans live and recorded sessions. Confidence-scored flags appear in your dashboard and fire webhooks instantly.

// POST → your endpoint
{
  "event": "hall.created",
  "data": {"hall_id": "h_..."}
  "sig": "sha256=..."
}

Signed Webhooks

Every platform event — room created, clip ready, flag raised — delivered to your endpoint, signed with HMAC-SHA256.

Clip Extraction

Slice any completed recording into a labelled clip via one API call. Precision re-encoded and uploaded back to your S3.

Security First

API keys hashed with SHA-256, never stored in plaintext. Secrets in an encrypted vault. Row-level security on every table.

···any HTTP client

Any Language, Any Stack

Pure REST — no server-side SDK required. If it can make an HTTP request, it works with Relay on day one.

Developer experience

Up and running in four steps.

No SDKs to install on your server. Just HTTP. Your favourite language works on day one.

Create a hall

POST /v1/halls with your room configuration — name, participant limit, recording, and moderation preferences.

POST /v1/halls
{
  "name": "design-review",
  "max_participants": 10,
  "record": true,
  "moderation": true
}

Issue join tokens

For each participant, call POST /v1/halls/{id}/join. Relay returns a signed LiveKit token you pass directly to the client SDK.

POST /v1/halls/{hall_id}/join
{
  "participant_id": "user_abc",
  "display_name": "Alice",
  "role": "publisher"
}

Receive events

Configure a webhook URL in your dashboard. Relay delivers signed events for every lifecycle moment — join, leave, recording complete, flag raised.

// Your endpoint receives:
{
  "event": "recording.complete",
  "data": {
    "recording_id": "rec_...",
    "bucket_path": "recordings/..."
  }
}

Review moderation

Open and dismissed flags appear in the dashboard and via API. Take action on flagged sessions without leaving your tooling.

POST /v1/flags/{flag_id}/action
// → 200 { "status": "actioned" }
// Fires moderation.flag_actioned webhook

Data & privacy

We orchestrate.
You own everything.

Relay never holds your media, your recordings, or your application data. Every byte your users generate is written directly to infrastructure you control — we are a conduit, not a custodian.

Your application

Sends REST API requests with your API key

REST call

Relay

Orchestrates sessions, issues tokens, runs moderation, routes data

Your infrastructure

S3-compatible storage

ParticipantsSession dataEvents

Zero media retention

Relay never buffers, caches, or stores recording or stream data on our servers.

Your credentials, your access

Storage and database credentials are encrypted in Vault — only your app can retrieve them.

We see only what's needed

Relay holds room config, flag statuses, and usage counts. Nothing about your users' content.

Pricing

Simple, predictable pricing.

Both plans start with a 60-day promotional period — one payment, full platform access. Then continue at the monthly rate. No hidden fees.
