[Tech1] Live Streaming of talks

[Bernard Newnham]

If you haven't found OBS Studio yet, that would be the first thing to 
download. It's free, and I've been using it to send a feed from my bird 
box webcam to YouTube for years .

A little further upmarket, the Blackmagic Atem Mini - 
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/products/atemmini  would be worth a 
look.
