Freedom, flexibility and fun. Taking back your live streams with Owncast by Gabe Kangas
Live internet video streaming isn't as complex and scary as it's made out to be. Let's talk about why you might want to run your own self-hosted live video streams using Owncast, and learn about how video streaming works along the way.
During the session, we will create a live stream from scratch by installing Owncast, and find out what's needed to successfully offer a quality stream to your viewers, scaling it to a larger audience when needed.
What is Owncast, and why would you want to use it to run a self-hosted live video stream?
How does live video streaming work? What does it require?

Discuss chat, social, interactivity, and viewer engagement features to enable different levels of viewer participation.

Can the Owncast live stream be saved as a file? I suppose that would be done in OBS?
OBS can record streams. The Owncast can't do clips or vods or anything ... YET. Gabe Kangas, primary and solo Dev, is working on it.
