It does not do server side bridging, rather the clients make p2p connections negotiated by WebRTC, so the best clients are either the mobile app or an up to date Firefox or Chromium install. It takes about 2Mb/s per 1080p stream with the encoding settings it uses.

Yes, you can turn your camera on and off on the fly, as well as share your screen and adjust the arrangement of video feeds.

That sounds good to me, It would probably be a good idea to all be in IRC as well, in case there are problems with the video we will still have real time text.
