Livekit and Owncast look great. But alas, from a developer's point of view, I can't say which is better.

I'd be really interested in seeing this feature as well.

OpenStreamingPlatform looks to be fairly easy to integrate using the OAuth2 support and Webhooks. If I understand it correctly, the MediaCMS Django instance would need to be set up as an OAuth2 provider so logins could be used across both platforms:

From there, MediaCMS would need to implement a Webhook endpoint for OSP to catch new videos, comments, etc. and add them as uploaded videos:

Owncast can also be set up with a Webhook endpoint:

However, as far as I can tell, it only supports one streaming user - the Owncast administrator. This could work for situations where MediaCMS only has one poster (internal corporate environment, for example) but may not work as well for a publicly-accessible instance where more than one user can post media to the site and would want to be able to live stream.

LiveKit looks to be much lower-level as far as implementation. Does not include any functionality for chats or stream recording as far as I can tell, and user authentication is at a layer above the scope of the project. It can be controlled using server APIs, and there is a Python SDK project available for it:

Also uses Webhooks for communicating back:
