Can I use WebRTC PeerConnection for video conferencing with more than two participants?

I play with WebRTC and read how it works, but I'm still completely unaware of what is happening under the hood when it comes to peer-to-peer connections. The way the streams are routed, won't it strangle if there are too many videoconference participants without any central server, if they all need to connect to each other?

Has anyone experimented with this? Does anyone want to think about the threshold of your medium broadband connection?

They will definitely crush everything you do.

You will need a central server, but it is up to you - WebRTC is only concerned with the media transmission and transmission environment - you need to take care of the alarm yourself. For this purpose, you can add a media server for processing multi-point conferences and conduct its conference orchestration.
