Hyperbeam

Embed virtual computers in your web app

Visit Hyperbeam

Hyperbeam is an API that allows developers to embed virtual computers directly into web applications. It solves the problem of opening third-party websites or applications within a web app, which is often blocked by X-Frame-Options or requires complex integrations. The API synchronizes audio and video among multiple participants and enables multi-user control without requiring downloads or browser extensions.

The platform provides programmatic control to open apps, navigate URLs, and run scripts. It includes echo cancellation for audio calls, WebGL support for GPU-intensive workloads, session save states, access control, and kiosk mode. Developers can also access raw audio and video data for rendering in 2D or 3D virtual worlds. The API supports embedding Chrome, Android, Linux, and emulators, and works with international servers for minimal latency. It integrates via a REST API for the backend and an NPM package for the frontend.

Hyperbeam is designed for developers building collaborative or interactive web applications that need to embed and share third-party content. It offers a free tier with 10,000 minutes per month, with pay-as-you-go pricing for additional usage. Volume discounts apply automatically, and custom pricing is available for high-volume customers.
