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
2020-09-14 25833, 2020
Freso
Yeah.
2020-09-14 25838, 2020

So I was curious about what can be done
2020-09-14 25820, 2020
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.
2020-09-14 25835, 2020
shivam-kapila
Oh thats also a good idea

Stramyard only supports 10 live streamers
2020-09-14 25854, 2020
Freso
It has a nvidia 1070 GPU so nvenc is supported which means relatively low overhead for video encoding.
2020-09-14 25818, 2020
shivam-kapila
That suits the need
2020-09-14 25831, 2020
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.
2020-09-14 25849, 2020
shivam-kapila
Yeah
2020-09-14 25812, 2020
shivam-kapila
It would be good if the fommunication stays 2 way

Communcation*
2020-09-14 25832, 2020
shivam-kapila
Not like a conference
2020-09-14 25848, 2020
shivam-kapila
But more like a video call... So all intereact
2020-09-14 25812, 2020
Freso
Right, yeah.

Well everyone wi miss online summit but we can try best to relish it what we havr
2020-09-14 25850, 2020
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.
2020-09-14 25838, 2020
Freso
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.
2020-09-14 25845, 2020
shivam-kapila
True that
2020-09-14 25810, 2020
Freso
Of course, it’d be nice to still give people the option of "only" being in chat as well.
2020-09-14 25836, 2020
Freso
Not everyone is comfortable having their voice or likeness shown to the world.
2020-09-14 25856, 2020
shivam-kapila
Yups. Like we when we have classes :p
2020-09-14 25807, 2020
Freso
But all major streaming platforms allow that, so that should not be an issue.
2020-09-14 25832, 2020
shivam-kapila
Kind of we are sure that our needs will be met
2020-09-14 25852, 2020
shivam-kapila
Its just a matter of choice about what we can pick as best
2020-09-14 25801, 2020
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

Experienced guy
2020-09-14 25858, 2020
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.)
2020-09-14 25843, 2020
shivam-kapila
But 2019 video was awesome
2020-09-14 25846, 2020
Freso
We can mostly likely do a 1080p60 stream this time around, with no issue.
2020-09-14 25853, 2020
Freso
Yeah, last year worked out really well. :)
2020-09-14 25814, 2020
shivam-kapila
Well 1080 would be gr8
2020-09-14 25817, 2020
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.
2020-09-14 25850, 2020
shivam-kapila
Man. I wish to be at an onsite summit. That funnn
2020-09-14 25858, 2020

Hopefully 2021 :)
