Ubuntu Summit 2023 Day 2 (04 November 2023) 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? We will install and configure Owncast to create a live stream from scratch. Discuss chat, social, interactivity, and viewer engagement features to enable different levels of viewer participation. And we'll go over how to scale your video stream to a larger audience.
