With the recent news about discord asking for face or ID scan, what other alternatives are there that we can recommend to our less tech-savvy friends?

    I would imagine the limiting factors would be bandwidth and compute - I imagine discord offloads some of the processing on their servers to make sharing such a smooth experience, while services like Twitch intentionally introduce delay to make stream sniping more difficult.

    So for OBS, the most difficult part of having a low latency stream to another person is having a strong, speedy connection, and a beefy enough gpu/cpu to handle the encoding quality necessary.
