Why can’t I get a large number of Conference participants with a standalone instance?

QUESTION:

Why can’t I get a large number of Conference participants with a standalone instance?

ANSWER:

A standalone server instance only supports 30 – 40 connections. Keep in mind that the subscriber number decreases that capacity.

  • A connection is either a publisher or a subscriber. In a conference, your subscribers are also publishers. 
  • If you have 10 people on the call, each person is subscribing to 9 other people. That’s 90 subscribers total. Then, because all 10 people are also publishing, that gives us 100 total connections.
