# πŸŽ™οΈ BloodMoon Grid Now Runs Its Own WebRTC Voice Server! πŸŒ™

We are pleased to announce an important milestone for **BloodMoon Grid**!

BloodMoon has officially moved away from Vivox and now operates **its own independent WebRTC voice server**, hosted and managed entirely on our infrastructure.

After several weeks of development, testing, and improvements to the voice system, we have successfully deployed our new solution across the grid.

βœ… **Proximity voice is now operational!**

Residents can communicate with nearby avatars using compatible viewers such as Firestorm.

🏑 **BloodMoon-hosted regions** have already been configured and restarted to use the new voice service.

πŸ”§ **Externally hosted regions** connected to BloodMoon require a configuration update and IP authorization to access our voice infrastructure.

🚧 **Private IM voice calls and group voice conferences are not yet functional.** We are actively working on these features and will provide updates as development progresses.

### 🌐 A Step Toward Greater Independence

Our goal is to reduce our dependence on external services while maintaining a reliable and modern voice experience for our residents.

This deployment includes several fixes, adaptations, and improvements developed and tested specifically for our OpenSimulator environment.

We are happy to share this progress with the OpenSimulator community!

**BloodMoon continues to evolve, one step at a time.** πŸŒ™
