There are some interesting discoveries in the chat logs

For example, I found that my OBS setup (via v4l2-loopback) was not
recognized by Jitsi in FOSDEM but it works fine with regular Jitsi.
After investigating, I found that OBS needs to be configured for a 4:3
aspect ratio instead of 16:9 output, then it worked.  I finally used
4:3, 480p, 25fps.

I shared that feedback in a couple of channels for anybody else who may
have been stuck.

It could be useful to keep the information available for people to
search.  For example, if somebody used v4l2-loopback as a search query,
they would probably find the above tip.

It may also be possible for dev-room managers to curate their chat
history or decide if it belongs in a public archive on a case-by-case basis.
