There are probably some operators that do pure p2p, but vast majority use some kind of bridge past certain number of users (& TURN might also be used for p2p). Usually this is to limit the amount of bandwidth participant needs.
Another alternatives are https://meet.jit.si https://meet.jit.si & https://8x8.vc/ https://8x8.vc/. I cannot remember what was the current limit of participants in Jitsi (it was 75 back in June), but on 8x8.vc it's 100. In cases where you simply need a lot of viewers and limited number of participants there is also an option to livestream to Youtube.

- sebmellen 6y ago8x8 has intrigued me, but I'm a bit confused as to what happened. Did 8x8 buy the Jitsi brand from Atlassian? And what's the benefit of 8x8 vs Jitsi pure? I might be a customer if 8x8 is a compelling alternative to Zoom without some of the downsides of Jitsi (generally less reliable).
- k3liutZu 6y agoDisclaimer: I work at 8x8 (not specifically on meetings, but related) 8x8 offers more than just meetings. You can see the feature list here: https://www.8x8.com/products/video-conferencing https://www.8x8.com/products/video-conferencing Yes we bought Jitsi from Atlassian. The Jitsi based meetings are integrated into our complete UC offering (yet we still deliver stand-alone meeting clients for customers who might want only meetings).
