Hi @jgaarsdal,

What your are asking for, multi-peer support, is not supported natively by WebRTC. WebRTC itself is intrinsically peer-to-peer only. However other technologies are building upon WebRTC to provide this feature. Namely you are looking for:

• a naive mesh topology, with a single peer connection per couple of peers : very simple, but not economical in terms of bandwidth for example;
• a Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU) server which dispatches the tracks as needed between the peers;
• a Multipoint Conferencing Unit (MCU) server which mixes several tracks into a single one.

There are several third-party offers out there. The Microsoft Mixed Reality docs mention FreeSwitch for example. I have not tried myself, but these essentially require adapting the signaling solution to be compatible with the server.
