Mozilla Hubs is the best 3d browser-based spatial audio platform I've tried yet by far. I hosted a virtual party in the first lockdown back in April and it was pretty fun and far far better than a zoom call due to the spacial audio. Unfortunately it did become a bit unstable past 15-18 people and you'd have to rejoin the session frequently when it started to crap out under higher load.

There already is a popular platform that fits what you are describing: VRChat.

We support up to 100 people in a room.

what happens if 100 people move to the same spot? What kind of infrastructure do you have that supports 100 simultaneous video streams?

You mean the same room? We've built our solution using webrtc. For the infrastructure bit, I'll have our CTO write back to this comment as well.
