PS A friend (BCC'd) researched BigBlueButton & others for an expo. rather than for meetings, & thought BigBlue might be better than Jitsi for that, but she ran out of time, If she has notes I could link to or include them at eg. http://www.berklix.org/meet/#jitsi http://www.berklix.org/meet/#bigbluebutton
One of the Inkscape board members who works at a university in Paris told us they're using it for lectures.
When someone in our chat asked him about what would be required for up to 200 (and a temporary maximum of 350) persons, this is what he replied:
"then I would recommend ≥1GB/s bw , 8 cores, 32G RAM are enough - disable webcams except for *one* speaker at most, screenshare strongly discouraged, disable chat when >200people, never enable the "collaborative drawing over slides"
you would probably not use up more than 16G ram but it is better on the safe side rule of thumb is that bandwith will be limiting, and bandwith usage is n_attendees×(n_webcams+4×screenshare)×1MB/s if you go for correct quality"
For occasional meetups, Inkscape project members often use Jitsi, and it's mostly fine for small numbers of people. With the free website, it doesn't require any setup for trying it out. Last time I used it, it only worked reliably in Chrome, though, and people often had difficulties with the audio. Development may have advanced, I've not been in a Jitsi meeting for a couple months.
Hope this helps. Maren

A number of cloud providers also offer streaming solutions which one can build on. Would be happy to help set something up if of interest and can lookup details of possible options.
