Zoom primarily exists to offer a video conferencing solution. I'm not surprised if they offer video broadcasting as well, but you certainly don't need them for that. Broadcast is actually an easier problem than conferencing. Since multi-cast is not widely implemented, however, you end up having to duplicate the stream. Which is almost trivial, but eats a lot of upstream bandwidth. Furthermore, the only application most people know how to use is a web browser (unless it's on their phone). The church internet connection might not support 100 independent tcp video streams, and the webserver has to be on a well connected server. At this point, rather that set up a streaming video capable web server on a VPS, people generally use an existing centralized video platform like youtube, facebook, etc. If I were in your shoes, the ideal solution (set up a VPS) would be nixed by the time pressure, and I would be forced to be assimilated into the BORG via youtube live, etc. _______________________________________________ Linphone-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/linphone-users
