It’s self-hostable. Although im not seeing the link to their GitHub on the main vdo.ninja site. It’s linked to from their docs page though. https://github.com/steveseguin/vdo.ninja I think the streaming happens P2P either way. So if you don’t self host it I don’t think you incur a latency hit. It should route the video straight from phone->PC. It doesn’t route through their server as far as I know. (Edit: I stand corrected. Their docs mention an encrypted TURN server may get used if a direct connection isn’t possible) I do use the self hosted version anyway. Was pretty easy to setup.
