How well does Jitsi scale? Can it handle a group of say 15 or so participants on a variety of devices?

- warrenm 7y agoI've had several connecting via hotspotting their phone on a single CPU, 2G VPS
- ElijahLynn 7y agoIt is based on WebRTC, so the actual video data doesn't pass through a central server. Google Duo uses this same technology. There _is_ a central server but that is just to glue all the handshakes together. The video/audio don't pass through it, it is all peer-to-peer, so scaling is more so on the client application and the available bandwidth. WebRTC dynamically changes the bitrate of the stream depending on connection though, so it should scale nicely. I haven't tried a large conference on meet.jit.si yet though, only 1:1. But if there are performance issues it is likely the client application itself that needs performance tuning.
- cheald 7y agoThat's true for 1:1, but 1:2+ does go through the server. It's scaled quite well for us, though.
