+Message I've posted to support@libera.chat:
+
+Thank you for running libera.chat. We're looking forward to using IRC
+(#emacsconf-gen, #emacsconf-dev) for the discussions for the upcoming
+EmacsConf (Dec 7-8, https://emacsconf.org). In the past, we've needed to
+coordinate with Libera staff to increase the number of connections
+allowed from chat.emacsconf.org during conference days in order to avoid
+connection exhaustion errors. Is that something we can plan now or would
+you like me to bring it up a few days before the conference?

+
+NOTE: VNC+OBS doesn't work well if you have a window manager that
+automatically resizes windows, like i3. Please configure your window
+manager so that the VNC window is not resized.
+
+  1. Install a VNC viewer on your system (ex: tigervnc-viewer).
+
+  2. Set up your local environment:
+
+     - gen: export TRACK=gen; export TRACK_PORT=5905; export SSH_PORT=46668
+     - dev: export TRACK=dev; export TRACK_PORT=5906; export SSH_PORT=46668
+
+  3. Copy the password:
+
+     scp emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org:~/.vnc/passwd vnc-passwd-$TRACK -p $SSH_PORT
+
+  4. Forward your local ports and connect via VNC viewer to the
+     appropriate forwarded port from your laptop:
+
+     #+begin_example
+     ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org -N -L $TRACK_PORT:127.0.0.1:$TRACK_PORT -p $SSH_PORT &
+     sleep 5   # Give it time to establish the tunnels
+     xvncviewer 127.0.0.1:$TRACK_PORT -shared -geometry 1280x720 -passwd vnc-passwd-$TRACK &
+     #+end_example
+
+If you get the following error:
+
+#+begin_example
+channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused
+CConn:       End of stream
+CConn:       The connection was dropped by the server before the session could
+             be established.
+#+end_example
+
+then the VNC server hasn't started yet. You can start it with
+
+#+begin_src sh :eval no
+ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org -p $SSH_PORT /home/emacsconf-$TRACK/bin/track-vnc
+#+end_src
+
+and then connect with:
+
+#+begin_src sh :eval no
+xvncviewer 127.0.0.1:$TRACK_PORT -shared -geometry 1280x720 -passwd vnc-passwd-$TRACK &
+#+end_src

+#+begin_src sh :eval no
+ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml prod-playbook.yml --tags obs

+1. [[#vnc-instructions][Connect to the VNC session for the track.]]
+
+2. Start *recording* (not streaming). If you don't see OBS when you connect, it's probably on workspace 2, so you can switch with Alt-2. If you still don't see it there, you can open a terminal with Alt-Enter and then run ~track-obs~. After you start recording, confirm that it is now broadcasting to the stream.
+
+3. Verify with MPV on your local system:
+
+   #+begin_example
+   mpv https://live0.emacsconf.org/$TRACK.webm &
+   #+end_example
