# Velt > A complete collaboration SDK that lets developers add contextual comments, notifications, multiplayer editing, presence, cursors, huddles, and recordings to any web product in minutes. Velt is a developer SDK that provides a full suite of real-time and async collaboration features — including contextual comments, notifications, multiplayer editing, presence indicators, live cursors, huddles, and screen recordings — that can be embedded into any web application in under 5 minutes. It ships with 15+ pre-built, fully customizable UI components that mirror familiar patterns from Figma, Google Docs, Slack, and Frame.io. Velt is SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA certified, supports self-hosting, custom data encryption, and multi-region deployments, making it suitable for enterprise use cases. Teams at Google, X (Twitter), Pendo, Leadpages, and Bigtincan use Velt to ship collaborative features weeks or months faster than building in-house. - **Contextual Comments** — *Install `@veltdev/client`, wrap any element with ``, and users can leave pinned, threaded comments on any part of your UI, including canvas, cells, and video timelines.* - **Notifications** — *Drop in the notifications component to deliver real-time mention, reply, and approval alerts without building a notification system from scratch.* - **Multiplayer Editing (CRDT)** — *Integrate with Yjs, Tiptap, BlockNote, CodeMirror, Lexical, or SlateJS to enable Google Docs-style co-editing with conflict resolution.* - **Presence & Cursors** — *Show live user avatars and adaptive cursors across your app, similar to Miro, with a single component.* - **Huddles** — *Add Slack-style audio/video huddles directly inside your product for real-time collaboration without leaving the app.* - **Recordings** — *Let users record audio, video, and contextual screen clips and attach them to comments for richer async feedback.* - **Reactions** — *Enable emoji reactions on any document element for lightweight, expressive engagement.* - **Live State Sync & Follow Mode** — *Synchronize UI state across users in real time and let one user guide others through a shared view.* - **AI Enhancements** — *Automated AI review of first drafts and AI-powered comment summaries available as an add-on.* - **Enterprise Security** — *Self-hosting, custom encryption keys, isolated server/data storage, GDPR APIs, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA with BAA, and multi-region hosting (EU, APAC, NA).* - **Third-Party Integrations** — *Connect to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, HubSpot, Close CRM, Zapier, Segment, OpenTelemetry, Resend, SendGrid, AWS S3, GCP, and Azure Blob Storage via webhooks and REST APIs.* - **Developer Console & DevTools** — *Admin console with analytics, live debugger, data viewer, user activity logs, and a browser DevTools extension for faster debugging.* ## Features - Contextual Comments (10+ types) - Notifications - Multiplayer Editing (CRDT) - Presence & Live Cursors - Huddles - Screen & Video Recordings - Reactions - Live State Sync - Follow Mode - Live Selection - Single Editor Mode - AI-powered comment reviews - View Analytics - Webhooks & REST APIs - Admin Console - DevTools Extension - Dark Mode - Full UI & Functional Customization - SOC 2 Type II & HIPAA compliance - Self-hosting - Custom Data Encryption - Multi-region hosting ## Integrations Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, HubSpot, Close CRM, Zapier, Inngest, Windmill, Segment, OpenTelemetry, Resend, Loops, SendGrid, Customer.io, AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Yjs, Tiptap, BlockNote, CodeMirror, Lexical, SlateJS, React Flow, ChartJS, Nivo Charts, HighCharts, React, Angular, Vue ## Platforms MACOS, WEB, API, BROWSER_EXTENSION, DEVELOPER_SDK ## Pricing Open Source, Free tier available ## Links - Website: https://velt.dev - Documentation: https://docs.velt.dev/ - Repository: https://github.com/velt-js - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/velt
