Okay so jitsi can't be the "youtube" itself?


youtube and other steaming platforms use a lot of servers to handle the load, so no jitsi can't be youtube itself unless you have a beast of a connection and even then you'd cap your connection after a hundred users. CDNs like cloudflare does the same but for websites.


I already have a lot of servers. I was asking if jitsi is server side software that can handle the encoding / delivery to users. The answer is no. Jitsi is apparently completely unscalable.


Jitsi is apparently completely unscalable.

Is this intended as a criticism? You wanted it to do a job it was never designed to do.


It's not a criticism, just a clarification on what its job is.
