 it looks like you can do it easily with zap.stream in the dashboard, once you have created a stream, there is an option at the bottom "i have my own streaming server". This supposedly removes the fees for streaming also... 
 Yeah it does, just wondered if there was a way to bypass? Mainly just so I keep the single chat page from my server. The ZapStream chat always looked dead even though I’d have lively chat from Fedi.

Maybe I should reroute from ZapStream again though, it’s like missing out on free promo! 
 for the chat, i doubt it will be possible to bridge them easily. I get the feeling that if you find the HLs stream of your server, you will be automatically routing it to zap.stream via your own... 

I'm sure there is a way to do all this without zap.stream, but so far i haven't found any ready made tools. I fear it might involve running a node and crafting a post with some cli magick. But we'll get to the bottom of this! 
 Yeah you're right about the HLS, it's pretty straightforward having both running. How are things developing with Peertube and V4V?
