Show HN: OBS-web – Control OBS from the browser

Interesting! We've been looking for a replacement for our webinar platform which struggles with high load. How can I use Voctomix with guests who can join from their webcams via browser?

How do you get 100k+ people on a stream without having to have massive bandwidth? Where is the stream actually hosted?

sorry if I'm asking basic questions.

Scaling a stream is really easy using free and open source software if it's just broadcasting. rtmp backend, reverse proxy web server and hls. Done.

Scaling live interaction with really large numbers of participants is problematic both technically and socially. My research hasn't really yielded anything that can reliably scale beyond ~50 users using only free and open source software.
