Given the recent controversies surrounding Discord and the fact that the end user is a product of Twitch, I wonder if there is any “bare bone” solution to stream my gaming session to a friend who’s on Windows. I’d rather that they didn’t have to do anything except clicking on a link or perhaps installing a piece of software but with no need to do any configuration. From their perspective, it should "just work.

On my side
Should I set up a webserver into which I feed an OBS stream? Or can perhaps ffmpeg work as a server on it’s own? I’m on Arch Linux, playing games on Steam, within dwm within X11.

On my friend’s side
No idea how a windows user is supposed to receive such a video feed.

Edit: text and voice chat, we’re considering Signal for.

    you are literally forbidden to delete channels you have created
    Server admins and space admins can delete rooms within them just fine. If you are the last person left in a room and you leave it, it disappears too.

      I was the admin for the space I created :) Good to know that the whole space will be completely deleted after I left it. They should tell one that. Very confusing otherwise.
