Congrats @gabek and thank you so much for Owncast!
I can never tell you how much I appreciate all of the hard work you’ve done putting it together. I’m sure there’s been countless hours of work and all I have is thanks, but thank you so much for helping make a more free internet where we can all be our own people.
Owncast Stream whatever you want on your own platform and announce natively to the Fediverse!
IDK why but tons of folks think it’s not feasible as they need million dollar computers. I’ve streamed to 70+ open streams, albeit as a test, on a like $5/month VPS. The key is that the resources needed are how many qualities you’re transcoding, not how many folks are viewing. Yes bandwidth is needed for each viewer, but that’s significantly less than people imagine.
Full transparency I run the !owncast community, but I’m in no way affiliated with the project. I just love open platforms and open source.
I stream on Owncast and really enjoy it. One of the easiest installations I’ve ever had with software. And despite what lots of folks think you don’t need a million dollars to stream to groups of folks.
Full disclosure I run the !owncast community and actively promote it on Matrix if anyone is interested or need help. :-D
