Hi there!

We want to use Janus gateway in our WebRTC related project.

But do I right understand that the Janus can't work just as a signalling server only? Without relaying media through itself.

Ideally, I want to use video-room plugin in some cases and in others peer-to-peer WebRTC call with two PeerConnections for each side: one PC for receiving and other for sending MediaStream directly between peers. With the similar interface as in video-room plugin. In both cases of course we use our wrapper for choose the mode.

What is the best way to accomplish it? Custom Janus plugin which based on existed ones?

PS Sorry if the question seems simple, but I didn't find the relevant information about it

No, Janus can't be used just for signalling. You can still have both P2P and Janus PeerConnections, it's just up to you to do on the client side: create some one way, and others the other.

Ok. In that case we'll implement our own signaling server only for peer-to-peer case, in addition to Janus. Thanks for the answer!
