What you will want is a SFU. This is a non-exhaustive list, if others want to chime in would appreciate it! * https://galene.org * https://github.com/pion/ion * https://github.com/peer-calls/peer-calls * https://github.com/meetecho/janus-gateway * https://github.com/versatica/mediasoup * https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet * https://github.com/fox-one/mornin.fm

I recently read through a the code bases of a bunch of these, and I would add several to the list: https://github.com/jitsi https://github.com/pion/ion https://github.com/peer-calls/peer-calls https://www.irif.fr/~jch/software/sfu/ Out of those, it seems Jitsi and Mediasoup to be better as SFUs than the rest because they have what appears to be decent-looking congestion control, bitrate allocation, and support for simulcast. The rest apparently do not (at least I couldn't find anywhere in the code where it happened). Also interesting to note is that so many of the newer ones are written in Go based on Pion. If Pion ever gains the ability to do decent congestion control (perhaps based on transport-cc like Jitsi and Mediasoup do), that could improve things for all of those.

Thank you :) Yes! There are three 'media servers' that I know of. You can also find more stuff in awesome-pion [2] * https://github.com/pion/ion * https://github.com/peer-calls/peer-calls * https://www.irif.fr/~jch/software/sfu/ Ion (the first one) was built with extensibility in mind. Each service runs in its own container, so you can just fork ion-app-web [0]. You continue to get the backend improvements though. We are working on adding RTMP/SIP bridges as their own nodes. There is also a generic 'AVP' node that will allows media processing. You can save to disk, or other custom stuff you define. If you are interested would love to have you involved.

This is a cool utility that someone contributed to Pion! I get lots of questions around why certain calls need TURN, or how P2P works in general. When you run it you will get output like sean@siobud:~/stun$ ./stun-nat-behaviour 2020/05/29 23:18:31 Connecting to STUN server: stun.voip.blackberry.com:3478 2020/05/29 23:18:32 Local address: 0.0.0.0:56304 2020/05/29 23:18:32 Received xormapped address: 165.227.221.230:56304 2020/05/29 23:18:32 Received xormapped address: 165.227.221.230:56304 2020/05/29 23:18:32 NAT mapping behavior: endpoint-independent 2020/05/29 23:18:32 Local address: 0.0.0.0:41265 2020/05/29 23:18:32 Received xormapped address: 165.227.221.230:41265 2020/05/29 23:18:32 NAT filtering behavior: endpoint-independent If you aren't familiar with Pion it is a collection of libraries to solve WebRTC/VoIP/Io

(Developer on Pion so take my opinion with a grain of salt) Janus does WAY more (audiobridge, RTP ingestion etc...) so I think if you need all that Janus is your best choice! Pion is more for people that want fundamental building blocks. There are also other SFUs using Pion! The goal of the project was to make it easier to build software like this. * https://github.com/pion/ion * https://github.com/peer-calls/peer-calls * https://github.com/fox-one/mornin.fm You can also see a bunch of other projects https://github.com/pion/awesome-pion

The library that does all the heavy lifting is Open Source https://github.com/pion/webrtc there are also other SFUs using Pion * https://github.com/pion/ion * https://github.com/peer-calls/peer-calls * https://github.com/fox-one/mornin.fm You can also see a bunch of other projects https://github.com/pion/awesome-pion Sorry I am not the author of the linked software. I made a mistake, I thought it was Free Software from my conversations with the author I missed that notice :(

You can multicast using WebRTC with this program https://github.com/pion/ion But, it still needs work. FWIW, I think it's promising.

Really excited to share pion/ion! It is a distributed RTC System written in Pure Go and Flutter. It can be used for video conferencing, live streaming and most other media streaming problems. It has a lot of interesting features, but the ones that seem to excite people the most are. * Distributed by default - Designed to allow running different workloads and scaling them out as you need * Flutter and JS SDK - Ready to be used on Web, Android and iOS! * Designed to be modified - Modify the UI/Backend so you can have custom experiences for your use cases. As long as you satisfy public APIs any piece can be swapped. * Easy to deploy - docker-compose with LetsEncrypt support. Spin up a conference server with on command * Performant - You can run multi person conference calls on AWS free tier instances * A joy to develop - Pure Go means quick

Another SFU is https://github.com/pion/ion Someone also built a CLI based conferencing solution https://github.com/dialup-inc/ascii :) stop wasting all those resources on X11!
