I'm sure there's some people with fairly weak machines. When I join
Jitsi I always do it from my phone since it always crashes by browser.
I'll have to try out OBS on my machine (using last year's FOSDEM
presentation I suppose) to see how well it'll work for live presenting
or pre-recording.
On the peer programming side, I know we have asciinema packaged but I
don't know if that supports live broadcasting. I know there's another
service out there that can be used to watch people play nethack but I've
lost my bookmark to it.
Is there a voice chat that's less demanding than Jitsi? We can figure
out the streaming of video and a joint audio separately if a
presentation isn't live or when peer programming.
