When NOT to use fastrtc
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid fastrtc when the project requires real-time communication features not covered by its pause detection or text-to-speech services.
- Do not use fastrtc if support for multiple languages beyond what Python and this library's built-in features provide is necessary.
