Connections are P2P for small meetings (<=4) but switches in an MCU automatically when more people 'enter the room'. Still, if you're on the same subnet (in the same building) with some of the participants it keeps those connections P2P based on ping time.
We're distributed across 5 states and 3 countries. Everybody has an equal footing in the meetings since we're all on-line. Even people in the same office (we have several small offices) attend using Sococo - I can see other attendees in the background of some people's videos :)
We use it ourselves for our Agile process, doing ad-hoc meetings all day in various bullpens; Scrum each morning with 20+ participants; all-hands meetings once a week with a shared presentation. And all day I can see who is meeting with whom in my group. Its really pretty performant.
