Federation / streaming

Ahoy - asked this on Masto and was directed here. Couldn’t see that this was covered elsewhere.

Was chatting with a pal about putting gigs online - it’s easily done with OBS studio → youtube (or FFMPEG) and (I imagine) fairly easy to stream to a website (given that I’m a developer by trade). I was just wondering if there’s a federated solution available?

A whole bunch of Fedi people have been using Owncast for streaming their live gigs.

Check out https://cal.gravitons.org/ for upcoming gigs (sadly there aren’t any scheduled at the time of writing).

Also, the majority of the live gigs listed at Live Performances – NHAM were originally streamed via Owncast…

+1 for Owncast. Love it. Worth mentioning people are using Peertube for this as well.

yes peertube works well too and it can have automatic archives the same way as yt.

Hi @here, would you be interested in creating (or at least starting) a doc
for our Knowledge base about how music makers and friends can use streaming to their own benefit?
