Room Server
OpenTalk organizes video and audio streams through Janus which is used as SFU (Selective Forwarding Unit) for the conferences. The communication between the OpenTalk controller and Janus goes through RabbitMQ. Multiple Janus instances can be configured for an OpenTalk deployment.
The room_server section describes general settings that apply to all Janus instances that are used with the service. The individual Janus instances can be configured in the room_server.connections list field.

The section in the configuration file is called room_server.
