Livestreaming people!

Do you want people on Mastodon to be able to follow your livestream and be notified when you go live?

There's a free open source streaming platform called @owncast which is also part of the Fediverse:

➡️ owncast.online

You can follow OwnCast streams from Mastodon, and a post will appear in your timeline when they go live.

For example you can follow music accounts like @live or tech & gaming streamers like @Hamish or @hatnix

@feditips how do I tell just by looking at an account if they are an owncast account?

@feditips @owncast @live @Hamish @hatnix

This would be a nice Feature. Maybe with a Connection via #Restream and to Embed a MP3 Audio Stream.

@feditips @owncast @live @Hamish @hatnix yes, but you can't view it directly from mastodon. Also, replying to such a post doesn't make the reply into a chat message on the other side as far as I know, neither do chat messages appear as replies in your timeline after you replied to the thread. I find #owncast an awesome platform, but in my view it's only partially federated, as in I still have to go to the actual website to do most things, peertube doesn't have that issue for the most part.

@feditips @kelvinvoskuijl Hey, dat lijkt me een aardige vervanger voor de spaces van de blauwe vogel.

Does OwnCast need to be on the same server for the post to a Mastodon account about going live to work?
