Get started for free
Made for developers
In just a few lines of code you can implement a real-time voice chat into games, apps, and websites. Users can also chat cross-platform. See the full list of our SDKs here.
import { OdinClient } from '@4players/odin';
import { TokenGenerator } from "@4players/odin-tokens";
// Prepare the token to connect
const generator = new TokenGenerator(apiKey);
const token = generator.createToken("My Room", "John Doe");
const odinRoom = await OdinClient.initRoom(token);
// Handle events for new peers joining the room
odinRoom.addEventListener('MessageReceived', (event) => {
console.log(`Received message ${event.payload.messsage}`);
});
// Connect the room
await odinRoom.join();
// Send a message to other clients
const data = {
sender: "John Doe",
senderId: "abcdef123456",
message: "Hello world!"
};
const encoder = new TextEncoder();
await odinRoom.sendMessage(encoder.encode(JSON.stringify(data)));
Use the SendMessage
function available in all our SDKs to send messages to all or specific clients connected to the same room.
Our SDK is very flexible and lets you design your own protocol very easily and fits into your existing data structures without converting back and forth all the time.
As messages are just a series of bytes in our ecosystem, text-messages can also contain binary data like images.
import { OdinClient } from '@4players/odin';
import { TokenGenerator } from "@4players/odin-tokens";
// Prepare the token to connect
const generator = new TokenGenerator(apiKey);
const token = generator.createToken("My Room", "John Doe");
const odinRoom = await OdinClient.initRoom(token);
// Handle events for new peers joining the room
odinRoom.addEventListener('UserDataChanged', (event) => {
// Update the chat
renderChat(event.payload.room.data)
});
// Connect the room
await odinRoom.join();
// Send a message to other clients
const data = {
messages: []
};
const onSendButtonPressed = async function(message: Message) {
data.messages.push(message);
const encoder = new TextEncoder();
odinRoom.data = encoder.encode(JSON.stringify(data));
await odinRoom.update();
}
In all our SDKs, every Room
has a UserData
property that can be used to store arbitrary data. You can store the history of your chat in this property and our servers will make sure they are synced in real-time to all clients.
Instead of sending messages, add to or modify a message within the Room data array and the message will be synced - to all clients. This way, clients that connect later have access to the whole chat trail.
The SDKs automatically optimize bandwidth usage by only sending and processing changed bytes. Just update the room data as often as you like and use the Update
function to update them on the servers. The callback UserDataChanged
gets the whole user data. There is no requirement on your side to process that data.
Implement chat bots with ease
Use our NPM package to implement a real-time chatbot responding to your users automatically.

You can create a simple JavaScript NodeJS script based on our @4players/odin
npm package to connect to a room and listen to incoming messages. If an incoming message is of interest to your bot, use natural language processing to create an action!
Once the action has been processed, send back a message to a designated user or all users. This way, you can easily create chat bots working in real-time.

Next-generation technology
Existing voice-chat solutions rely on WebRTC, which is an old legacy browser extension. Yes, it’s true: a browser extension with hundreds of dependencies and an awfully bloated API.
ODIN is developed from scratch based on HTTP/3 and QUIC with nearly zero dependencies allowing us to deliver excellent voice quality seamlessly embedded into your game engine.
