How do Zoom and Whereby compare? And what does Dyte Video SDK offer?
Zoom and Whereby are video SDKs that help add live experiences to products. Zoom offers better reliability and scalability, while Whereby has easier integration and UI customization.
Dyte changes that. Dyte is a modern live video sdk that offers live video, audio calls, streaming, collaborative features, and more in a single lightweight SDK.
But that said, we pit Zoom vs Whereby to bring out their pros and cons. Let’s dive in.
Zoom Video SDK is the classic Zoom Client without its shell. The SDK provides video, audio, screen sharing, chat, data streams, and more, as a service. You can build with all of these features or pick and choose. The Video SDK also offers server-side APIs and webhooks.

Whereby SDK is a high-level, basic live video SDK that helps developers to embed meetings into their app. It offers a UI builder that lets you create basic custom live screens. It also offers open APIs that make it easy to embed the basic live video in your app.
