What? So my self-hosted P2P WebRTC is in violation of a patent? And the companies I set these services up for too? Are all the others (zoom, go-to, uberconf, jitsi, etc) just not doing P2P?

IIRC P2P doesn't scale beyond a few participants because all the streams are going to all participants. Centralized can reduce bandwidth and number of data exchanges

Maybe, I've had 10 in a room w/o much issue - but my team is all on good pipes. It's not a webinar.

But scale is a different (easier?) problem/risk than patent troll.

Centralize on the peer who hosted/called the meeting?

I think Skype P2P relied on super nodes which had the best bandwidth and processing
