Video API pricing FAQs

The participant minute pricing model bills according to the number of participants in the session, which is useful for larger multiparty sessions.

Technically, a participant is a connection through the API, which typically corresponds to a single person or device. But a person can connect multiple times from the same or different devices, in which case that person will show up as multiple participants. With this pricing model, the number of participants in a video session is dynamically calculated each minute.

A participant is a fully interactive member of the video session who may or may not be publishing video  and audio feeds.

A publisher is a type of participant who publishes video and/or audio streams to other participants.

A viewer is a passive attendee of live streaming video. Viewers can still interact in real-time using signaling to chat, respond to polls, and ask questions.

A connected participant is a participant in a video session who uses Vonage Video API Audio Connector to connect to an ASR service or a 3rd party WebSocket server.
