Is the connection peer to peer once established?
Btw, I tried hello a couple of weeks ago and it felt like voice/video over the net 5 or 6 years ago, no proper echo cancelation, similar to the old video plugin in pidgin. Also, there is no text IM.
- dkharrat 12y agoIt's based on the WebRTC standard, so in general, yes it's peer-to-peer. However, in cases where the peer-to-peer connection cannot be established (e.g. a user behind symmetric NAT), then a third-party relay server is used (called a TURN server) which acts as the intermediary between the peers (sort of like a proxy).
