MiroTalk SFU is a self-hosted browser-based video conferencing platform built around the mediasoup Selective Forwarding Unit.
Unlike peer-to-peer conferencing, participants send media to an SFU which selectively forwards streams to the other people in the room. This makes the architecture better suited to meetings with larger numbers of participants while avoiding server-side video mixing.
The application combines conferencing with collaboration, administration and live-streaming tools. It can be deployed with Docker and accessed through standard desktop and mobile web browsers.
This is free and open source software.
