VidiU webcasting, but no QOS? Am I reading this right?

I'm really excited about the prospect of broadcasting stake conference to other buildings in the stake. We have a few towns in out stake, and it would be really nice to cut down on travel (especially for our older members). I'm guessing it would serve 30-40% of the stake at their local buildings. Stake leaders have been whispering about it for some time, and now this announcement will probably push us in that direction.
I am very concerned, however, with the proliferation of LDSAccess devices in our building (phones, tablets, laptops, etc). It would not take much to overwhelm our Internet connection. I can imagine someone clueless streaming video to their smartphone from the mother's lounge while they listen to the meeting. The VidiU device should be considered mission critical, high priority on the network (above and beyond all other network devices here locally). Similar priority should be given at the receiving sites. Why haven't we received word on setting up QOS (etc) for webcasting?
In short, naive members should not even be capable of DDOSing our upload. How can we address this? Is there anything I can do myself? Am I overlooking something?
