Non-p2p connection doesn't work for Chrome 98+

See original GitHub issue

Description:

Hi, we’re having an issue when several (3 and more) Chrome users connect to a room. Nobody can see or hear each other. Other browsers (Firefox, Safari) work fine. Presumably, this only appears when p2p mode is not active.

Steps to reproduce:

Join the same room in http://meet.jit.si from 3 windows (Chrome 99), in order to emulate 3 users. This way, p2p mode is disabled.

Expected behavior:

The participants can see/hear each other.

Actual behavior:

The participants can not see/hear each other, and pages are being crashed/auto-refreshed every ~10 sec.

Chrome logs.txt

Client information:

  • Browser / app version: Chrome 99 (tested this on 98, doesn’t work too)
  • Operating System: macOS 12.2.1

Additional information:

I was also able to reproduce this by hosting my own version of jitsi-meet using the latest docker-compose image (7001) with disabled the p2p mode (via ENABLE_P2P in .env). This also breaks the communication, in this case, even for 2 Chrome users. And again, other browsers work just fine.

Tests for firefox (everything seems to be alright): https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/37013688/158766629-d5355914-176b-4240-8d58-82529e27172c.mp4

I’ve added this information as a start point, please feel free to ping me for any information needed. I’d appreciate if you guys could give me your thoughts on how to resolve this as soon as possible. Thanks!

I see, happy to hear everything works as expected. Then I should close the issue, since there’s really nothing you can suggest in this case. I will continue investigating the possible workarounds for this somewhere else then. Thanks for your time @saghul!

Also, I assume you’ve tested this for 3 participants (using Chrome 98+) and this is working alright for you on meet.jit.si?

Sure thing, otherwise we’d all be all hands on deck.

This bug report I created is based on the data I’ve gathered using Chrome from Russia, so yeah, this may be related to the issue you mentioned @saghul.

Yep, it looks that way.
