OBS could stream to a server. Icecast could be the server and stream to the viewers.

BBB would be good if you want participant interaction. It might get overloaded with a city council meeting. I have seen BBB used for a classroom sized event with approximately 30 people.
Many alternatives are listed at https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Remote_Communication

Hi all,
there is the interest of a medium-sized German city to stream its city council meetings to the internet. They would like to use Free Software, are willing to spend some money for it and are looking for help now.
Apparently there is OBS Studio in this area [1]. Theoretically, this could also be possible via Big Blue Button [2]? Does anyone here have experience with any of the mentioned software or in general with live streaming and Free Software and can share recommendations / pitfalls?
Thank you and best regards, Erik
