Are any of these options Free Software in the sense that the Free Software Foundation uses the term "Free" and with source code fully available? Some of our local group includes Free/Libre software advocates and I don't think they'd go for a solution that wasn't approved by the FSF. Thanks.
CDNs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network) are mostly infrastructure as a service. One can use open source software to record and send video and sound, but one typically needs to ensure adequate infrastructure to be able to stream to many viewers. Many CDNs do accelerate open source libraries for websites, see for example: https://www.keycdn.com/open-source-cdn An open source transport library is SRT: https://github.com/Haivision/srt/blob/master/docs/why-srt-was-created.md which is integrated into OBS https://obsproject.com/wiki/Streaming-With-SRT-Protocol Open source server: https://github.com/Edward-Wu/srt-live-server If not using a CDN, and expecting many viewers, it would be helpful to have a network of servers
