 I don't have little experience with recording platforms.  So my guess is
 probably worse than yours.  Jitsi and Zoom are pretty much the only ones
 I've used and not anywhere near 200 people on audience.

 From what I can gather I think Jitsi would be fairly easy to set up and
 maintain (so just the bandwidth like I said which can easily be solved
 with YouTube/Cloud Hosting service), but it sounds like it would not fit
 your audience requirement- or is that the hosted one used for non-profits
 as a service?

 To Alex's note -- I think if we can find a service that say is < $50 / mth
 and can satisfy our needs, it might be well worth paying for the service.
 Ideally we'd want one that we pay as we need it, as once the conference is
 over, we'd be collecting the videos anyway and broadcasting on youtube and
 twitch.
