Run D-ID’s Expressive Avatars inside your own cloud.
Deploy real-time conversational avatars entirely within your own infrastructure. Your data never leaves your network, and D-ID’s avatar model renders in under 200ms.
Your stack, your choice. Bring your own avatars, voices, and language models, or use D-ID’s stock library.
Why run it yourself.
For teams with strict data, latency, and compliance requirements, the public API isn’t always an option. Self-hosting brings the full Expressive Avatars experience into infrastructure you already control.
Total data ownership
Conversations, configs, and assets stay in your network. Nothing is sent to D-ID when an avatar is running, built for regulated industries and data-residency rules.
Lower, predictable latency
D-ID’s avatar model renders in under 200ms, and running it next to your application removes the public-internet round trip.
No lock-in
Swap the speech, language, and voice providers behind the avatar whenever you like, and use your own avatars or D-ID’s stock library.
Compliance by design
Pass internal security reviews and meet regulatory frameworks by keeping every layer (data, networking, identity) under your governance.
Built-in insights
Full visibility into every session: usage, latency, and engagement metrics surfaced from your own deployment.
Extend with your logic
Wire the avatar into your own workflows, tools, and business logic.
Bring your own, or use ours.
Deploy a custom avatar that looks and sounds like your brand, or choose from D-ID’s library of expressive stock presenters.
One real-time conversation loop.
A client connects to your backend over WebRTC. Audio flows through the speech, language, and voice services you choose, and an expressive avatar video is generated and streamed straight back, all in real time.

Self-hosting, answered.
Does any of my data leave my environment?
No. Conversations, avatar configurations, and assets all stay inside your own network, and the avatar runs there too. The only outbound traffic goes to the speech, language, and voice providers you choose to connect. D-ID never receives your end-user data while an avatar is running.
Can I bring my own models and voices?
Yes. The pipeline is provider-agnostic: plug in the speech-to-text, language model, and text-to-speech services you prefer. You stay in control of cost, quality, and where each call is processed.
Can I use my own avatars?
Absolutely. Use your own custom avatars for a fully branded presence, or choose from D-ID’s library of stock presenters to get started quickly.
What infrastructure do I need?
You run it in your own cloud account with GPU capacity for the avatar rendering plus standard compute for the streaming backend. It’s cloud-agnostic across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, and transactable through the Azure and AWS marketplaces. Our team helps you size everything during onboarding.
How does it scale?
There’s no cap on concurrent sessions. The deployment scales automatically based on the metrics you define, adding and removing capacity as demand changes, to as many simultaneous avatar conversations as your infrastructure supports, with high-availability options for production.
What support do I get?
D-ID’s forward-deployed engineers help you design, deploy, and optimize the stack, and you receive ongoing security patches, bug fixes, and direct access to our experts. Book a demo and we’ll map out a deployment plan with you.
