Free Software for live streaming

[Michael McMahon]

OBS could stream to a server.  Icecast could be the server and stream to

BBB would be good if you want participant interaction.  It might get
overloaded with a city council meeting.  I have seen BBB used for a
classroom sized event with approximately 30 people.

Many alternatives are listed at
