If I self host some kind of private video chat service, is the video data transferred direct from connected peer to peer? Does it go through the self hosted service instance? Or does that depend on which video server is used?

    Jitsi Meet can be self-hosted. The data will go through your server, but end-to-end encryption can be used.

    Another option is Wirow. Again, data goes through the servers.

    I do not think if there are any peer-to-peer video chat applications. If there were, why would there be a need for self-hosting a server?
