For the record, I wouldn't say I'm an "expert" per se. Just wanted to give some suggestions.

WebRTC is a great place to start in general because it's pretty much becoming the standard of peer-to-peer connections in the Web. Furthermore, most devices nowadays support this technology, which is great. 👍

If you need a very quick prototype, JavaScript and the WebRTC API is definitely one of the best options out there.

Though, from experience, a many-to-many architecture for WebRTC isn't exactly fun to implement.

I would go for Dood advice exacly.. I implement this before and it is powerfull! Im using JavaScript back to front.

But... If you want some expert advice they maybe suggest you with Elixir. Discord, Netflix, Whatsapp use it.

About elixir its an OTP language runs on BEAM Erlang VM, known for its robustness on handling million connection per-instance. See their talk you maybe interested.

To be precisely language matters but the architecture could safe the language.

And my apps now somehow arent booming fail on bussines.. so yeah i dont have anything to brag sorry about that.

Bonus :

If you have money maybe AWS streaming platform could help you
