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 to use.

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.
