Mistserver, a privately owned company headquartered in the Netherlands, was founded in 2009 and operates with approximately 10 employees. The company functions as an open source media server, specializing in the process of ingesting media and delivering it across various formats.
On September 24, 2026, MistServer released a bidirectional stream control specification detailing the functionality of its control WebSockets and WebRTC datachannels to assist developers in implementing improved control layers within playback or custom playback solutions. This followed its exhibition at IBC2026 on September 12, where the company delivered a presentation on WebCodecs and their applications, referencing its beta player WS/RAW. Earlier, on September 7, MistServer announced plans to add "Interface templates" in version 3.12, enabling users to copy settings for Streams, Pushes, Stream Processes, and Triggers, either saving all configurations or only those differing from defaults. Previously, on August 17, the company unveiled an upcoming feature: API HTTP proxying with SSL support for the API, designed to enhance various aspects of MistServer usage. On August 10, MistServer published the initial chapter of its reworked online documentation, featuring a restructured format, updated information with flowcharts, and new architectural documentation.
