The quality would depend on the CPU and network, so assuming decent ones, it should be fine.

An SFU would be noticeably better if… the network or CPU requirements cannot be easily met. Think congestion or just packet loss for one participant as an example.

1. How would the quality be for audio only call? Mesh of 5 people.

2. Would SFU make it noticeably better? If so, is it primarily due to decreasing 3 Opus encoding or decreasing 3 uplinks for the client?

Let’s assume decent CPU and stable network.

Yes, but the quality will be questionable.

Thanks for sharing Dirk.

That said, I can’t consider today any group video calling service as reasonable if it is built over a mesh network (scaling it is kinda impossible).

Therefore it should meet the security level you described in this great article. Visit https://brie.fi/ng

It is greatly appreciated as many people think that it is not safe without true end-to-end for multiparty but until that happens this is as safe as it gets! Thanks for the great explanation.
