Livestreaming on Discourse just got a cleaner, more unified home.

The Livestream plugin has now been folded into the Events plugin, which means communities can manage livestreams, virtual events, and in-person events from one place! 🧵

A single community might run in-person meetups, virtual office hours, and livestreamed product sessions.

Now those formats can sit under one Events system instead of being split across separate plugin experiences.
