What is JP Mercury Media?
JP Mercury Media is a secure video calling SaaS developed by JP Mercury LLC (Dallas, TX, USA). It runs entirely in the browser using WebRTC peer-to-peer mesh for small calls and an SFU (Selective Forwarding Unit, powered by mediasoup) for meetings with five or more participants. All media is transported over DTLS-SRTP encrypted channels.
Is it really free?
Yes. The core product — video, audio, chat, screen sharing, recording, whiteboard, polls, Q&A, waiting room — is free to use. There are no participant limits beyond the current room configuration and no time limits per meeting.
How secure are my calls?
All WebRTC media is encrypted with DTLS-SRTP. Signaling goes over HTTPS/WSS with strict CSP, HSTS and a strong Permissions-Policy. Rooms are token-gated: every meeting generates a unique admin token and a unique client token with a 24-hour default TTL. Admins can enable a waiting room to approve participants manually.
What features are included?
HD video up to 1080p, screen sharing (full screen / window / browser tab), local and server-side recording (WebM), AI-powered virtual backgrounds with blur, replace and green-screen, live speech-to-text captions in 15 languages including English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic and Hindi, collaborative whiteboard, real-time chat with reactions and raise-hand, audience polls, live Q&A, and RTMP broadcasting to YouTube Live, Twitch and Facebook Live.
How many participants are supported?
Small meetings use WebRTC peer-to-peer mesh for the lowest possible latency. When a meeting reaches five participants, the platform automatically switches to SFU mode (mediasoup) to scale cleanly to larger groups while keeping bandwidth per participant bounded. Per-room limits can be configured via API.
Do I need to install anything?
No. JP Mercury Media runs in any modern WebRTC-capable browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi — on desktop, Android and iOS. Grant camera and microphone access the first time and you are ready to join or host a meeting. A progressive web app (PWA) manifest is included for installable, offline-aware use.
Is it GDPR compliant?
Yes. JP Mercury Media is designed with GDPR principles: minimal personal data collection, explicit cookie consent, clear retention policies for recordings, and published privacy terms. All processing details and your rights as a data subject are documented in the Privacy Policy.
Can I record meetings?
Admins can start and stop recordings at any time during a meeting, or enable auto-record when a meeting is created. Recordings are saved as WebM files server-side, downloadable via authenticated API endpoints, and automatically size-limited to protect storage.
Use cases
Remote team meetings, 1:1 coaching sessions, online tutoring, virtual interviews, telemedicine consultations, technical webinars, audience Q&A events, and live streaming to external RTMP destinations such as YouTube Live or Twitch.
