Is there a solution to the situation where the other side of the video link will always display a circle loading page

+1. @tom-james-watson , I'm facing the same issue.

Also, Could you please enable the Github Discussions for this repo? Thanks!

It's due to when a direct p2p connection cannot be achieved. Ideally there would be some UI that makes that clear.

Unfortunately without running a TURN server, which is incredibly expensive, many networks are not able to achieve direct connections. It's the downside of being p2p-only.

@tom-james-watson , It would be good if we add some pop-up or warning message to the client (about this error).

I have opened a room in my Firefox and joined the same room with Chrome, but this isn't working as well.

Btw, Thanks for enabling discussion.

Yup, displaying a message on the relevant person's video/placeholder would be the way to go. I'm not actively working on this at the moment. PRs are welcome.
