      What’s the Difference Between Eyeson API and Eyeson Accounts?

      While both rely on the same underlying video infrastructure, they serve very different purposes and audiences.

      Eyeson API — For Embedded and Integrated Solutions

      The Eyeson API is designed for solution providers and developers who want to embed Eyeson’s video technology directly into their own applications, platforms, or workflows. It offers full programmatic control over session creation, participant management, layout, and real-time data integration.

      Key Characteristics:

      • API-first design: RESTful API to control rooms, participants, media, and layout

      • Custom UI or prebuilt UI: Use your own frontend or launch sessions with Eyeson’s default UI

      • Programmable layouts: Use the Layout & Layer feature to control visual composition (Eyeson One View)

      • Device integration: Connect drones, IP cameras, VOD streams, etc.

      • Webhook support: Receive real-time session events

      • Use case: Ideal for platforms in defense, emergency response, or C2 systems that require embedded video infrastructure with full control

      Eyeson Accounts (Meeting Rooms) — For Browser-Based Usage

      Eyeson Accounts is the SaaS interface for browser-based video meetings.
      It allows users to log in via accounts.eyeson.team, create rooms manually, and join meetings through a standard web UI — with no coding or integration required.

      Key Characteristics:

      • User-based login

      • Web-based meeting rooms with click-to-join links

      • Meeting features: camera, microphone, screen sharing, snapshot, recording, layout, ...

      • No API usage or custom logic required

      • Use case: Best suited for users who need a simple hosted meeting platform

      ⚠️ Note on Lifecycle

      The Eyeson Accounts Portal is maintained for existing customers but is no longer the focus of new feature development. New projects and integrations should use the Eyeson API, which is actively developed and aligned with Eyeson One View and modern integration needs.
