Scaling voice with SFU

Why SFU matters

SFU forwards streams instead of mixing them centrally, keeping CPU usage low and scale high. This is essential for large rooms.

Control active speakers

Limit concurrent speakers and prioritize the host to keep the experience stable. It prevents audio chaos.

Practical settings

• Set a max active-speaker limit.
• Enable adaptive bitrate to fit network conditions.
• Use adaptive jitter buffers to smooth variability.

Outcome

With smart limits and ABR, SFU delivers stable quality at a lower cost.
