This seems super awesome and I think we'll almost certainly use this for our group calls! Although, what about 1-1 calls? Do you offer a P2P solution? Currently, most of our calls use P2P and it'd be a huge added expense to have to suddenly pay for anything beyond the occasional TURN or a server as a fallback in case there's a restrictive firewall (but not as a default solution). Up until now, our plan has been to use Mediasoup to roll out our own P2P video calling because we've had an endless number issues with Twilio, with little control to do anything about them. A huge percentage of rooms have issues, we've refactored the setup tens of times by now, we've set up all sorts of hacky workarounds and still there's frequent enough complaints that some people just can't see each other, no matter what they do.

@astor_cook Thanks Astor! We do not support P2P currently. While a number of folks have expressed interest in it, it's very difficult to fit that model into LiveKit. There are quite a bit of end-to-end coordination between the clients and SFU.
Astor Cook
@davidzh Thank you for the quick reply and for clearing this up! We'll consider using LiveKit as a backup for when P2P fails. Thanks again!

Congrats Russ/David and the rest of the crew at LiveKit. This is absolutely incredible, seriously. One of the most impressive things I have ever seen on this site and I am going to be making use of this ASAP. Can't wait to get started, actually, I'm quite excited!
