3. STREAMING

What one-to-many streaming services are available?
  • http://giss.tv/ - helen has tried to use this in the past without success. recently used it ! success! me *** me also ! Super * bit low frame per second
  • https://openstreamingplatform.com - Open Streaming Platform (OSP) is an open-source, RTMP streamer software front-end for Arut's Nginx-RTMP Module.  OSP was designed as a self-hosted alternative to services such as Twitch.tv, Ustream.tv, Mixer, and Youtube Live.
  • https://www.berlinalive.de    and  https://dringeblieben.de are platforms where you can stream and ppl can donate for your stream. (is this actually a streaming server? it asks for a "link to the livestream" so it looks more like it is a platform to distribute streams coming from elsewhere, rather than an actual streaming server itself; but i have not tried it & there isn't a lot of info on the site)   
  • https://voicerepublic.com     audio streaming, podcasts, now the also offer live streaming, dedicated to mostly  discourse / /academic content and debate (register but free)
  • https://now.source-elements.com/#!/  Funciona para Win, Mac y Linux, pero necesitas browser Chrome. Puedes enviar y recibir audio stereo a 512kbps hasta con 9 personas. No es open source, pero es gratis. Solo quien inicia la sesión tiene que estar registrad. Me ha funcionado súper bien para talleres de mezcla y mastering, por la calidad.


4. VIDEO hosting
    
  •  https://joinpeertube.org aspires to be a decentralized and free/libre alternative to video broadcasting services. (FLOSS and free and federated - live streaming is on the roadmap)

Centralised Chat
One company or organisation runs the chat service.
  • Wire - https://app.wire.com/ -Wire is an encrypted communication and collaboration app available for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, and web browsers such as Firefox.

  • However, not secure or private out of the box. Further configuration is required to ensure communication privacy.

P2P Chat
