A: Thank you for considering BeHuman.Online for your online experiences! 🙏 If you want to use video calling then yes, you do need to link to AWS. In the near future, we'll be releasing an update to the platform to support other video engines (other than AWS) which have a large free tier - up to 10,000 minutes monthly, which should alleviate a lot of the cost associated with smaller meetings on the platform.

Think of BeHuman.Online like a car rental service: we provide the vehicle (the virtual event/meeting platform), and the gas (video data) is what you pay for based on how much you use it. We give you the tools, and you drive it as far as you need, consuming video data from AWS for as long as you're on video together.

Our focus is to create a unique and brandable online event space that people enjoy using - not to mark-up video data from 3rd party vendors (as other event platforms do).

Linking to Amazon Web Services (AWS) is only needed when you want to allow attendees to meet on video such as in the Lounge or in the Private video feature, or if you want to use the Main Stage feature. The AWS-powered video features are billed directly to you by Amazon Web Services (AWS) based on your usage.

For allowing access to streaming videos (live or replay) in a branded, registration-enforced environment on your own domain name, there’s no need to link to Amazon—great for evergreen webinars, multi-day conferences with multiple keynote events, or private corporate knowledge base / training content.
