Jitsi uses WebRC, so it's p2p. It's great for 2 person calls, could be good for 3 as long as you all have good connections to each other, but doesn't and will never scale higher.

Jitsi can work in either peer-to-peer mode or with a "videobridge" that acts as a server in much the same style as Zoom et al.
