Should MiroTalk SFU work well for 6-10 people?

[jdaviescoates]

Is anyone here already regularly successfully using it for groups of 6-10 or more people?

In my test it didn't even work with 2 people (perhaps I need to change the ports of something )

But I think probably what I really need to do is to set-up a HPB for my Nextcloud Talk and then use that...

@jdaviescoates For me it works very well with 3-5 people. I haven't really tried with more than that. Though according to MiroTalk Discord it seems to be showing good performance on a same server as mine, i.e. a Netcup RS2000 (15€/month) with 25 participants!

What ports are you using?

That sounds promising. I've got a Hetzner Dedicated Server and so I guess in theory I should be able to have a least that many too...

It’s very important that the RTC port range you configure is:

• Not already in use by any other application
• Not blocked by your firewall or ISP

For testing purposes, you can enable the SFU server mode by editing the env file (via the File Manager) and setting:

SFU_SERVER=true

After saving the change, restart the service and check if anything improves.
In this mode, MiroTalk SFU uses fewer ports while maintaining nearly the same functionality.

Note: MiroTalk SFU can handle approximately 100 concurrent participants per CPU core, depending on your hardware and network conditions.
