MiroTalk P2P
Self-hosted WebRTC meetings for private calls and small groups. Participants exchange encrypted media directly when networks permit, keeping routine media forwarding off the application server.

How P2P works
MiroTalk P2P uses a mesh: each participant sends media to every other participant. The application server coordinates signaling and rooms; a TURN server can relay encrypted packets when a direct path cannot be established.
| Responsibility | Participant device | Application infrastructure |
|---|---|---|
| Media | Sends and receives peer streams | Does not normally forward media |
| Room growth | Uplink, downlink, CPU, and rendering increase | Signaling load grows more gradually |
| Restricted networks | Uses a direct path when possible | TURN relays media when required |
| Trust boundary | Participants are media endpoints | Signaling and optional relay remain server-side |
P2P is best when privacy, direct media paths, and modest infrastructure matter more than large-room scalability.

TURN changes operating cost
Direct P2P media reduces routine server bandwidth, but restrictive networks may require TURN relay traffic. Test your expected browser, network, and room mix.
