SANTA CLARA, CA  — October 12, 2022 — Agora, Inc.

From social, to education, to gaming, to retail, to telehealth, to the future of work and beyond - there are a significant and growing number of use cases which require real-time audio and video, as well as real-time in-app Chat, and our customers need a solution for both.
