Recently, I have come across the so-called signaling server which seems to be another part being used with Nextcloud Talk. For Nextclouds the default signaling server can handle just about 4 participants. So there seems to be a bit more to it than just WebRTC and TURN.
- EGreg 7y agoWhat exactly makes this limit?
- arendtio 7y agoI have no idea (maybe PHP). I just saw that they a short info text in the backend and display a warning when you are having a conversation with more than 4 participants. Couldn't find any documentation on what the underlying problem is. > An external signaling server should optionally be used for larger installations. Leave empty to use the internal signaling server. > Please note that calls with more than 4 participants without external signaling server, participants can experience connectivity issues and cause high load on participating devices.
- EGreg 7y agoProbably it's just the sheer amount of connections you have to make. But it's possible to have even 10 people. Especially if you go through a central hub.
