Hii Freso

So any plans yet on how we will be streamin the summit

Not yet. I’m not sure exactly how we’ll be hosting the summit, which would affect the approach.

Ah okay

There was a talk regarding meet as a probable platform

"meet"?

Google meet

Jitsi?

Oh.

Jitsi also works

In fact perfecto for on the go

I have no prior experience with that. Clearly, I didn’t even know it existed. :p

Haha. I also didnt knw before online classes

The thing I wanted to tell you was that. We are provided premium plans by institute with almost all features IG

https://streamyard.com/ works really well too, esp. when wanting to stream as well.

Ooh. For G Meet?

Yeah

Dont go for teams but

Its really toooo heavy and not worth it

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

Yeah.

So I was curious about what can be done

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.

Oh thats also a good idea

Stramyard only supports 10 live streamers

It has a nvidia 1070 GPU so nvenc is supported which means relatively low overhead for video encoding.

That suits the need

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

Right, yeah.

Well everyone wi miss online summit but we can try best to relish it what we havr

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.

True that

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.

Yups. Like we when we have classes :p

But all major streaming platforms allow that, so that should not be an issue.

Kind of we are sure that our needs will be met

Its just a matter of choice about what we can pick as best

Yeah. I’m not too stressed about it. I actually feel it’s going to be a lot easier compared to previous years. :p

Experienced guy

(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.)

But 2019 video was awesome

We can mostly likely do a 1080p60 stream this time around, with no issue.

Yeah, last year worked out really well. :)

Well 1080 would be gr8

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.

Man. I wish to be at an onsite summit. That funnn

Hopefully 2021 :)

🤞

🙏

So we pretty well set

Thanks for the convo. Ping me if can help

Sure thing! Also feel free to ping me if you have any further questions/comments. :)

Yeah. For sure.
