Bingo. You hit the nail on the head. To efficiently do large conferences, you need to both multiplex audio and video at the media server layer and have a concept of active speakers.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoYou can write your app to use one of those MCUs for large conference, and accomplish the audio/video multiplexing via those MCUs. But only in a logical full-mesh configuration. So for instance 100 people listening to 6 panel members but not one another - not easy. Not unless the clients cooperate and carefully trim the streams for audience peers (fail to subscribe to them), just leaving the panel streams. It becomes complicated very fast.
- emcho 11y agoJitsi Videobridge has both of those.
- kolencherry 11y agoJitsi only does the audio portion. There's no support for layouts/video mixing. "Jitsi Videobridge does not mix the video channels into a composite video stream, but only relays the received video channels to all call participants."
