@NMaia: Hi, https://meet.wmcloud.org/ exists. Reading that FSF text I don't understand what exactly https://vcs.fsf.org/?p=streamdesktop.git;a=summary does in combination with Jitsi. And how this task is related to Commons (apart from Commons being a place where to potentially host resulting videos). :)

@Aklapper Meet doesn't store the video for later viewings, and also don't allow anyone to view without being part of the meeting. So Jitsi is great for a many to many conversation (well, except "many" only applies for very small values of many, meetings with over 30 people usually break down). This is meant to be more of a broadcasting, where one person livestreams to potentially thousands of viewers.

PeerTube got support for live streams in its latest release a week ago! Since it is open source, this is a possible way forward.

The underlying need is very widespread: do streamings, but yeah, Wikimedia Commons is a kind of database for images, not really a streaming platform. I suggest to remove the Commons Tag and set a generic Cloud-Services and rename this Task to:

• "Host a Wikimedia Peertube on Wikimedia Cloud for peer-to-peer live streamings"

or something similar.

I disagree with renaming and repurposing. If this request is declined, I'd rather see this task being closed with a proper argument for historical reasons.

You are always free to start a new task with that subject if you like, but don't hijack this one.
