Video Mesh analytics (under Control Hub > Resources > Call Activity) indicate the call legs that originate on-premises; they do no specify the call streams that came in through the cascade to the Video Mesh node for media processing. As remote participant numbers increase in a meeting, the resulting cascade increases and consumes on-premises media resources on the Video Mesh node."
