Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Implementing group video conference seems quite hard. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong ?
Given the financial restraint, i was avoiding paid API's like twilio. I started looking at mediasoup https://github.com/versatica/mediasoup, but while implementing the SFU server, its seems a lot more involved. For ex, TURN and STUN, peers negotiating different video codecs, adaptively changing the quality of video etc. Is it usually this difficult to implement a video conferencing apps ?

STUNner Kubernetes media gateway for WebRTC
This release ships lots of new features to the already comprehensive set of them. Currently, we offer several working tutorials on how to set up STUNner with widely used WebRTC media servers and other applications that use WebRTC in Kubernetes, such as: - LiveKit - Jitsi - mediasoup - n.eko - Kurento

Free - Self-hosted - WebRTC - alternative to Zoom, Teams, Google Meet - Real time video calls, chat, screen sharing, file sharing, collaborative whiteboard, dashboard, rooms scheduler and more!
Architecture WebRTC SFU (server with Selective Forwarding Unit). Can handle unlimited rooms without limits of time, each having 8+ users, potentially many as it is scalable. Routing is a multiparty topology, where each participant sends its media to the MiroTalk media server mediasoup and receives all other’s media from it. This version is Ideally suited for large group video conferences.

Free Secure WebRTC P2P/SFU/C2C Video Calls, Screen Sharing, File Sharing, Chat and more.
I started the MiroTalk P2P & MiroTalk SFU projects during the pandemic period (about 1+ year ago), not knowing anything about the WebRTC. Making often the video conferences with my colleagues and not wanting to depend on Zoom, Teams, Google Meet... I decided to do some research about how it works and from there MiroTalk was born :) I Giving to everyone the chance to have its own instance of MiroTalk, which can be customized as you like and run in any cloud, vps, server. If you're just starting out, I suggest you take a look at the MiroTalk C2C (New) code, which can be a good starting point to understand how the architecture WebRTC Mesh (P2P) works. Later you can also study how the WebRTC SFU (Selective Forwarding Units - I recommend mediasoup which I personally love) or MCU (Multipoint Control Unit) architecture works. I wish you all the best!

WebRTC 102: Understanding libWebrtc
The "Mediasoup" project provides a high level JavaScript/TypeScript interface to the WebRTC APIs. The core logic of this project is implemented in C++/Rust. Consider taking a look at the project if you want an easy-to-use library instead of the low-level libWebRTC APIs. A notable project to mention is the Pion/webrtc project which has a Golang implementation of the WebRTC API. Of course, we should mention the rust port WebRTC.rs. Let’s keep all the rustaceans happy too!

Germany Forces a Microsoft 365 Ban Due to Privacy Concerns
Indeed, maddening, especially as the wonderful https://mediasoup.org/ is developed here. Europe will never have great tech companies when the answer seems to be throwing €€€ away instead of investing locally

WebRTC for the Curious
> despite WebRTC mostly being about client/client communication
This is actually kind of a misconception, though it’s an understandable one given that WebRTC is almost always pitched as a peer-to-peer protocol.
In practice, most people using WebRTC for video are sending their video to a server, not directly to another client. It’s pretty safe to assume that most people who use your app are going to need TURN, and at that point, you’re not really doing peer-to-peer at all, so you might as well just have your browser-based app talk to a server that’s pretending to be another browser.
These servers (called Selective Forwarding Units or SFUs) can operate like a TURN server in the case of a one-on-one call, but they can also multiplex everyone’s feeds in the case of a larger conference (peer-to-peer 5 person calls would require each participant to send 4 copies of their video) and often have extra features like the ability to record calls, transcode streams or convert to other protocols.
The one I’ve used a lot is called Janus[0], it’s open source and has good docs, I recommend people check it out if they’re interested in getting deeper into WebRTC or other video streaming tech.

OpenTalk meeting software with Rust back-end open-sourced under EUPL
OpenTalk is a young project for creating online meeting software similar to Jitsi or BigBlueButton. It is a completely new development, and while it is not a fork of an existing open-source project, it integrates with other projects such as the Janus WebRTC server, Redis for volatile state, RabbitMQ for communication between server instances, and PostreSQL for persistent state.

What are good self-hosted WebRTC video solutions today?
I've been looking into Janus WebRTC Server due to the ability for Uv4L to join Janus rooms (I'm building a RaspberyyPi doorbell)
-
Looking for self hosted screen sharing/streaming solution
A related answer to the above is to check out Janus. It's a general purpose WebRTC server that has RTMP and FTL ingest support. I think it's also batteries not included, but I think it's what Glimesh is based on.

Low-latency audio streaming (local network)
I've been using Janus gateway for similar. Pretty easy to setup.

Live video calling - the Dyte way
A number of open-source projects also exist, which give developers a great head start if they're looking to build their own infrastructure - the most popular of these include Jitsi, Mediasoup, Janus, and Pion. These projects provide a layer of abstraction and expose a number of helper functions to perform various tasks, such as creating transports, etc. They have helpful guides on how to get started, but you would still face the aforementioned issues regarding scaling, resources, etc.

Casey Muratori: refterm and the philosophy of non-pessimization (how you can make programs run 100x faster without optimizations)
This all changes when you are actually a domain expert: You can treat the various components as a "white box" because you see the forest for the trees and can make cross-cutting assumptions which will inherently make the code faster. I've noticed a lot of projects written by domain experts are often these giant clusterfucks of C that violate pretty much every guideline there are so many Medium blogs about, and yet they're very stable and widely used. See: https://github.com/meetecho/janus-gateway for example.

Stop using Zoom, Hamburg’s data protection agency warns state government
Yes, there are many self-hosted options out there. https://github.com/meetecho/janus-gateway works well for multi-party video with up to about 15 users in a room assuming everyone has a reasonably reliable connection.
