    My solution is cobbled together from OvenMediaEngine and OvenPlayer, which gives me about 250ms of latency when streaming. I have the whole thing behind a reverse proxy that uses Discord for forward auth, and then I have a list of discord user names that are allowed in. Streaming is controlled by a normal stream key rather than OAuth. It's very "batteries not included" though.

    OvenMediaEngine has a player called OvenPlayer. I've set this up in Vue and host the page so that others can visit the page and it starts playing for them instantly. OvenPlayer also has a hosted demo that I use for debugging and testing.

    And we applied OvenPlayer, an open-source JavaScript-based WebRTC player with good synergy for OME, to the streaming settings, streaming viewing, and VOD viewing screens.
