I was working on this last night. I had a video call going from my phone on a wireless carrier and my laptop on my home internet using a video call from a Nextcloud instance running on a GoDaddy 1GB RAM 1 core VPS. I left the call running for a good while and was monitoring the server resources. It was using most of the RAM, but with only 1GB that's really not surprising. The CPU usage was pretty low. I would have taken a screenshot but then I managed to crash my laptop working on some other things than the video test at the same time which was dumb on my part. I'll test it more though and let you know how it goes. From what I can see it seemed to work OK but this was just one video call. For multiple simultaneous calls it would probably struggle I guess. Maybe I'll test that too, or at least add another camera into a call.
Thanks for the info. I tried to have a lecture with 5 of my students and we lost the service when the screen sharing begun (lol). At that time I only had around 350 MB ram free so I think it hit 0 at some point and caused the crash. I am planning to test it with my new server (16GB ram 8 core) where I haven't done any additional config for nextcloud.
