FSF wrote a blog post[1] about how they did the virtual LibrePlanet<br>
conference.  It looks like they just did a screen capture of jitsi and<br>
streamed that, so it should work with BBB too.<br>

My company often does something similar for our meetings, but using OBS<br>
instead of GStreamer.<br>
