I’d like to host a game night for friends and family where we play games like jackbox. I’d like to self host the service and give anyone a url and possibly a user name/password combination to access it. I’d like audio and video support as well as the ability to screen share and have a text chat option. I know there are a couple of services that do some of these things but does anyone know of an option that part offers all of this?

      owncast is more of a “stream one thing to multiple viewers” kind of thing, as opposed to Jitsi which is more for meetings.

      I’ve used owncast to host a couple of conferences, set it up on Linode with their single click install thing, I think. We had a jitsi call for the round table and one of the participants had OBS streamings its jitsi window to owncast. For individual presentations, we used https://vdo.ninja/ to get the presenters screen/camera/microphone onto OBS, where it was muxed and streamed to owncast.
