In their own words

EnableX Video API

EnableX Video API provides SDKs, REST endpoints, and WebRTC media servers for adding video calls, recording, and streaming to websites and apps. It supports one-to-one and group calls, larger sessions, breakout rooms, and HLS or RTMP broadcasts. The product page describes AI functions for facial and emotion analysis, meeting transcription and summaries, and live translation with captions. Teams can customize interfaces and branding, use white-label options, or work with a no-code builder. EnableX describes end-to-end encryption, firewall and access controls, and AES encryption for recordings. It says it supports GDPR and HIPAA requirements and offers private cloud, public cloud, hybrid, and on-premises deployment. Customers retain ownership of data generated through the API, including messages and metadata. Usage is billed per participant per minute, with no setup fees, per-seat charges, or minimum commitments listed. A 30-day trial with test credits and no credit card required is described. The default room configuration supports up to 12 active video participants; larger configurations are available on enterprise plans.
