Books/resources to learn the technical aspects of Video Conferencing?


I assume the most important aspect of this is Networking but could be wrong. If anyone knows of any resources or can point me in a direction that would be great

https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/support/faq.html For implementation details like average network usage and storage and other things

http://www.aosabook.org/en/jitsi.html Outdated but seemed the most relevant so had to include

I'm no expert but have gotten into this whole thing trying to get one set up for my university. One problem I've come to find is that no one seems to discuss about is the total network usage if you are hosting this on cloud. The egress on this seem bankruptable on any of the major cloud providers. How are people doing self hosting if they don't have an idle Intel xeon on prem? Where else can I get affordable egress pricing on ~35 TB/ month / 250 users?

Audio channel echo cancellation sophistication and effectiveness will separate the men from the boys. A poor implementation is obvious and annoying. Having this under your belt is important.
