 ##  1. <a name='Whoisthisfor'></a>Who is this for?

-Owncast is for people who are live streamers, or who wants to host live streams for others.
+Owncast is for people who are live streamers, or who wants to host live streams for others.  It's a _"one to many"_ broadcast much like Twitch, Facebook Live, YouTube Live, etc.

+##  2. <a name='Whoisthisnotfor'></a>Who or what is this not for?
+
+Owncast is not for video conferencing or any use case where multiple people are wanting to see video of each other.  It's also not a good choice if you have tight real-time requirements as HLS video has inherent delays.
