Broadcasting (One to Many)

mirotalk-sfu-broadcasing

In the realm of communication and collaboration, broadcasting serves as a powerful mechanism for disseminating information from a single source to a widespread audience. This one-to-many communication model is particularly valuable in work in progress scenarios, facilitating efficient sharing of updates, announcements, and important developments across teams, departments, or even entire organizations.
