but limiting the conference to 7 or 8 participants given all the duplication of the sent video required. In Element Call Beta 2, end-to-end encryption was enabled; easy, given it’s just a set of 1:1 calls.
I imagine having to transmit stuff to every peer would not work well for low-bandwidth devices.
Also, complete connectivity graph is a LOT of connections.
Additionally, given one channel fails - recipient doesn't see content, while others do. (they could have broadcasted it, hey!)
Also, won't scale for streaming.
