Maximum Number of Viewers

Yo,
I'm researching livestream ecommerce. Most platforms leverage streaming tools such as OBS, Zoom, Larix, etc. Is it known at what number of viewers that OBS caps out, if any?

OBS is video mixer.
Number of viewers is related to the server.

OBS doesn't serve video to viewers. It sends a video-stream to a streaming video provider server, which replicates and delivers it to viewers. Servers may cap out, but no matter how many are watching on the server, OBS only ever sends one connection. No matter if it's only one person watching, or six billion.

Another way to think about it is "how many people can listen to Jimi Hendrix's guitar"?
