The number one google result is Owncast.
Looks like it doesn't save the video by default but there are workarounds to record it.

Peertube supports livestreams with multi ABR live transcoding, and ended lives can be saved as VODs on the platform.
It's also part of the fediverse. :)
You can share screen and camera on Jitsi Meet, which is a video-conferencing app. Not sure if there is any recording function built-in but you could just record everything with OBS.
Maybe overkill, but Peertube can definitely do that well.
I've used PeerTube for streaming personally, it works well. I haven't used OwnCast, but I've been on OwnCast streams, and it also seems to work well. PT also has the benefit of being fedi, but that's only if you want it, OwnCast just has a central website it posts all of the streams to I think? At least all of them that want to be there
Need more details here:
- What's your bandwidth and delivery medium like?
- What are your edge/router specs?
- What hardware would you be hosting this on?
- What format are you expecting to stream (audio and video formats)?
- Related to #5, what hardware would you streaming from?
OBS and Owncast should allow you to do this for the most part, but it's heavily dependent on all of the above.
I use MediaMTX. You can stream to it with whatever (I use OBS). You could even publish it to a website behind an iframe.
node-media-server is what I use, it does the job well. I haven't tried the recording bit, I just stream my desktop to my buddies sometimes. I had to modify the version I was using because the authentication didn't work well with OBS. This was a while ago and development seems to be semi-active but I have no idea where it's at.
You can set up an RTMP server using Nginx. You can stream to it from OBS, you can record it on the server, and you can have clients watch it using VLC.
private live streaming to friends and family
'friends and family' you say...... /s LOL
