The amount of pc resources for running it is minimal on the CPU side, and I think the amount of memory needed for each listener is something like 14k. </span></p>

If you are broadcasting from your home, it depends of your internet connection and ISP. Speed and stability. If you´re running a server, or an online service is doing that for you, the same applies. </span></p>
