Each conference room was equipped with a desktop with librebooted ASUS KGPE-D16 motherboard for the FSF tech team and volunteers and a librebooted Lenovo T400 laptop for the presenters.
The desktop machine streamed out to the world via OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software) and Icecast. Connected to the desktop machine was a webcam, projector, and a mixer with a microphones and a loudspeaker connected.
The laptop's screen streamed to the desktop.
All of the devices were placed on the same local LAN with a hub.
If there was a pre-recorded video, it was played locally on the machine with mpv.
For remote speakers, we hosted our own BigBlueButton 1.9 instance for remote speakers to connect to and enter a video "call" with a computer. A screen capture of this call was then simultaneously streamed in OBS.
OBS Settings are listed below:
#### Output ##### Recording tab Output Mode drop-down: `Advanced` * Type: `Custom Output (FFmpeg)` * FFmpeg Output Type: `Output to URL` * File path or URL: `icecast://source:PASSWORD@example.fsf.org:8000/stream-room-NAME.webm` * Note: Password has an O as in Opal.

We modified the look of BigBlueButton with the Stylus browser extension.
For networking, we set up OpenVPN to tunnel to our streaming server, and we used the LibrePlanet:Conference/2023/Streaming/flip-network.sh script to switch between two network providers, in case one of our connections went down or provided reduced bandwidth.
