"Up to 10 friends can view your screen. Limited by your CPU/RAM" - what hardware specifications are required for this limit? Could I invite more people with faster CPU and more RAM?

I imagine there isn’t a very clear spec per user because it depends on a lot of factors. I imagine you could share one video encode between many users but only if their bandwidth can accommodate the same bitrate. If not there might be two concurrent encodes.

I know modern Intel CPUs have hardware based transcoding for H264 but I’m not 100% sure whether WebRTC uses it.
