Ah yeah indeed there is still a gap with this protocol topic:

  • I remember Spreed.ME with spreed-webrtc-server used just UDP by default as protocol. Otherwise some guides around here suggested to add (UDP + TCP) as well.
  • Generally as far as I know (superficially) UDP has some performance benefits where TCP is better for stability. I remember back in that time, that just using TCP was a solution attempt for unstable connections: [Spreed.ME] Unreliable long distance connection buildup via TURN server
  • I am not sure, if both are given, how Talk decides which protocol to use, but yeah in case just try, if UDP or TCP only makes some difference for you.

Generally in my cases all kind of connections I can try here (also laptop -> laptop over www) work fine now, but as you can see I also had issues with Spreed.ME as well as spreed video calls later, which I was not able to solve :slightly_frowning_face:.

Now that I read this, I see that I forgot to add the hint, that of course the chosen TURN port needs to be forwarded from the router in case :wink:.
