About Playroom

Playroom provides a real-time multiplayer backend and edge-managed rooms to let developers build collaborative experiences and multiplayer games without managing their own servers. It supports embedding real-time collaboration in UIs, canvases, dashboards, and games across a range of engines and frameworks. The solution targets solo developers, small studios, and teams integrating multiplayer features into SaaS products or games.

Playroom Kit handles rooms, shared state, and participants so multiple people can see and interact with the same experience in real time. It focuses on adding the multiplayer layer while you maintain your existing backend and architecture. It is designed to be simple to integrate with existing stacks and authentication flows.

Playroom emphasizes low latency through edge servers and a choice of networking protocols.
