i am trying to stream the audio and video into AWS or Google to do video analytics. Any thoughts on how to do it?

Can you give some examples of the types of analytics you're trying to perform?
Live sentiment analysis (Using speech to text and audio) Providing contextual recommendations based on the discussion (Next best conversation)
Have you looked at openvidu?
We are looking this as a possible B2B solution. So either it has to integrate with current B2B conferencing solutions like Zoom, Teams etc. Or it has to be a standalone application listening to the computer audio/video and do the live analytics. We are not looking for alternate to a conferencing application. Hope this make sense.
Depending on your technical bench, OV may be a serious consideration for you.

I've looked at implementing customization to Zoom. While the brand and penetration is high, that company has not done a good job at making product interactions accessible.

Doing live analytics means having realtime access to the audio and video streams of the participants. That should be readily exposed by the conferencing solution's API and demonstrated with documentation in an SDK.

These are things OpenVidu has now, and you can do this with the free and open source version.

I'm not affiliated with OV, I have implemented it though and while it is not turn-key it is just at the right level of abstraction and maturation to be ready for a B2B product that does this analytics.

You would need a technical person to do it, and you'd have to either pick up a pre-built SaaS project on top of a web framework or build up your own. But that's the "easy" part.

Would love to catchup with you offline and explore this discussion further- Can you pls share me your email/contact no or drop me a note at yasimk@gmail.com with your contact details. Appreciate it.
