If gmeet is chose I can provide my credentials so you can make use of the features but i dont think it will be a chosen platform
Since we have to allow for each participant that pops in
Freso
Yeah.
shivam-kapila
So I was curious about what can be done
Freso
So, for G Meet, Zoom, or other solutions that don’t have a native restreaming option, I was thinking to just set up streaming from my desktop computer.
shivam-kapila
Oh thats also a good idea
Stramyard only supports 10 live streamers
Freso
It has a nvidia 1070 GPU so nvenc is supported which means relatively low overhead for video encoding.
shivam-kapila
That suits the need
Freso
I’m also sitting on a 100 Mbps fiber connection (gigabit wired from desktop to modem), so bandwidth should also be no issue whatsoever.
shivam-kapila
Yeah
It would be good if the fommunication stays 2 way
Communcation*
Not like a conference
But more like a video call... So all intereact
Freso
Right, yeah.
shivam-kapila
Well everyone wi miss online summit but we can try best to relish it what we havr
Freso
What we have done previous years, where the majority were obviously all in the room, was that we would have someone (or multiple someones) watching the chat and relay questions/comments there to the summit at large.
But if we have a solution where we can have "infinite" amounts of guests, it could also be possible for people to drop in and out at-will.
shivam-kapila
True that
Freso
Of course, it’d be nice to still give people the option of "only" being in chat as well.
Not everyone is comfortable having their voice or likeness shown to the world.
shivam-kapila
Yups. Like we when we have classes :p
Freso
But all major streaming platforms allow that, so that should not be an issue.
shivam-kapila
Kind of we are sure that our needs will be met
Its just a matter of choice about what we can pick as best
Freso
Yeah. I’m not too stressed about it. I actually feel it’s going to be a lot easier compared to previous years. :p
shivam-kapila
Experienced guy
Freso
(Since I don’t have to fiddle with webcam setup or stream from a connection that 10–20+ people/devices are using at the same time, having laptop hardware to do video encoding, etc.)
shivam-kapila
But 2019 video was awesome
Freso
We can mostly likely do a 1080p60 stream this time around, with no issue.
Yeah, last year worked out really well. :)
shivam-kapila
Well 1080 would be gr8
Freso
I also had a better camera than 2018, and the encoding/streaming laptop was different from the one I was using to monitor chat et al.
shivam-kapila
Man. I wish to be at an onsite summit. That funnn
Freso
Hopefully 2021 :)
shivam-kapila
🤞
Freso
🙏
shivam-kapila
So we pretty well set
Thanks for the convo. Ping me if can help
Freso
Sure thing! Also feel free to ping me if you have any further questions/comments. :)
