Host Video Conferences On Your Own Servers

Your medical center discusses patient diagnoses over video. Your law firm negotiates merger terms. Your R&D team demonstrates prototypes under NDA. These conversations belong on your servers, not someone else's.

Why Companies Switch to Self-Hosted Conferences

Cloud providers store your data on their servers. They promise security through terms of service. You trust their promises because switching seems complicated.

Self-hosting changes this dynamic. You control the servers. You manage the encryption. You decide who accesses recordings. When regulators audit your compliance, you show them your infrastructure, not a vendor's certificate.

Healthcare providers face HIPAA requirements. Financial services comply with SOX regulations. Government contractors meet security clearances. Each industry protects data differently. Self-hosted infrastructure adapts to your requirements, not the other way around.

Test Our Platform Before Installing

We run our own meetings on self-hosted infrastructure. You can try the same system we use daily. Create a webinar for up to 500 participants at no cost. Test the features. Check the quality. Decide if self-hosting fits your needs.

The platform runs on Jitsi Meet, an open-source conference system. Jitsi provides standard features: screen sharing, recording, chat, and breakout rooms. The Apache 2.0 license permits commercial use and modifications without licensing fees.

Add Features Your Business Needs

Open-source architecture accepts modifications. Add AI transcription for meeting summaries. Integrate with your Active Directory for single sign-on. Build custom layouts for training sessions. Connect analytics to track participation metrics.

Your IT team controls every aspect. Update the interface to match your brand. Restrict features for different user groups. Archive recordings to your preferred storage. Export data in your required formats.

Secure Your Conference Infrastructure

Configure nginx to create a dedicated subdomain for your conference server. Restrict access to your local network only. External participants connect through your controlled entry points.

Install OpenVPN on your server to manage remote access. Issue credentials through username-password combinations or profile keys. Your VPN runs on your hardware, under your policies, with your audit logs.

Monitor who joins meetings. Track which files participants share. Record when sensitive topics get discussed. Your security team reviews actual logs, not summary reports from vendors.

Lower Your Costs

Cloud conferencing seems free until you scale. Premium plans charge per user monthly. Recording storage adds fees. Compliance features cost extra. International calls increase rates.

Your conference infrastructure becomes a competitive advantage. Clients trust your security commitments. Employees appreciate stable connections. Compliance auditors approve your controls.

At koveh.com we help you to install the meeting platform, connect it to your services, and find the proper server for the load that is required.
