Thanks to everyone for your kind comments. I plan on using my own RTMP with nginx for live streaming. I'll use PeerTube to upload the recordings after the event.
I've been testing my own Jisti Meet instance with a domain I own, inviting some people, but, sadly, the ones with a cellphone are required to manually set the domain. That's an extra step that may discourage people to join us. I took mumble into consideration, but we require the two speakers to show their faces and gesticulate with their hands. Sometimes, we share desktop to show images.
