Self hosted video chat (lemmy.ca)

If I self host some kind of private video chat service, is the video data transferred direct from connected peer to peer? Does it go through the self hosted service instance? Or does that depend on which video server is used?

@YurkshireLad Depends on the video chat service and on the infrastructure of the participants.

Most browser based video chat services use WebRTC which usually uses peer to peer if NAT hole punching works - but that depends on the ISP routers.
