[Cialug] The question of Remote viewing of LUG meetings

[Matt]

I was wondering, would it be possible to set the meeting up so that it 
could be heard over something like Discord?  You'd at least then be able 
to have a good level of control over who hears the meeting, so that 
people who don't like the idea of being recorded would know who (at 
least, assuming you only allowed people whose Discord usernames you 
know) was attending the virtual side of the meeting.  I know Discord has 
a Linux client, so it should be able to be used by anyone on any OS who 
wanted to listen, or even participate, remotely.

I'm not sure what the story is with Discord and video.  I know you can 
create inline youtube links in the Discord text channels, but I'm not 
sure if that would be helpful for the slides.  You could always use a 
separate video streaming/screen share program for those.

Personally, I'd prefer to be able to participate, rather than just 
listen to a recording or livestream.
