OSE is testing self-hosting Jitsi Meet with our own Jitsi Videobridge for scaleable video confernencing

Scaling

OSE needs 10-12 people on our weekly calls. Moreover, we'd like to be able to support 100+ participants in webinars (where the majority of users are listen-only).

Jitsi Videobridge is an SFU (Selective Forwarding Unit) that is designed to run thousands of video streams from a single server. It's written in NodeJS and users can connect from their browsers with WebRTC.

Jitsi published this performance evaluation showing how a single server with similar specs to our server could handle >1,000 participants before the server's CPU became a bottleneck.
