Mediasoup – WebRTC Video Conferencing

For some reason I can't reply to fulafel. But a full mesh is definitely not very doable when you're dealing with a larger amount of people. Close to all conferencing solutions today are working via an SFU for a reason. E2E encryption via the SFU gets more and more attention and is being worked into the spec. But it can't be counted as state of the art in webRTC today

Most calls are not between large amount of people, a portion of webrtc applications would rather compromise on particiant # than security.

For small numbers of participants, many of these platforms use full mesh (which is e2e encrypted).

Yep, but you can't trust that e2e is a property of the app then, unless it prominently features in the ui.

You are 100% correct.

The product I work on signals this to the user, and asks for confirmation before "upgrading" to an SFU.
