If I self host some kind of private video chat service, is the video data transferred direct from connected peer to peer? Does it go through the self hosted service instance? Or does that depend on which video server is used?

How many participants in your video call?

If it's 1 on 1, you want direct connections.

If it's a conference of 30 people, you don't want direct connections, because everybody's typical plastic home wifi router is very unable to handle 30 incoming plus 30 outgoing video streams at once.

It would be 2 or 3 people max.
