# Velt

> Collaboration SDK built for enterprise that enables you to add smart collaboration features ridiculously fast. Turn any web app into a collaborative experience with comments, presence, cursors, huddles, notifications, screen recording, and more - all with just a few lines of code.

Velt provides 25+ collaboration features as plug-and-play React components and vanilla JS SDKs. The platform is trusted by enterprise teams for its security (SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA), self-hosting capabilities, and integration flexibility. Popular use cases include adding Figma-style comments, Google Docs-style co-editing, Slack-style huddles, and Frame.io-style video comments to any web application.

Key differentiators: Ships in under 5 minutes with 10 lines of code, framework-agnostic support (React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, vanilla JS), predictable pricing based on Monthly Active Collaborators (not all users), enterprise-grade security with optional self-hosting, and comprehensive customization through wireframes, CSS variables, and API hooks.
