        shivam-kapila: Hullo
      • shivam-kapila
        Hii Freso
      • So any plans yet on how we will be streamin the summit
      • Freso
        Not yet. I’m not sure exactly how we’ll be hosting the summit, which would affect the approach.
      • shivam-kapila
        Ah okay
      • There was a talk regarding meet as a probable platform
      • Freso
        "meet"?
      • shivam-kapila
        Google meet
      • Freso
        Jitsi?
      • Oh.
      • shivam-kapila
        Jitsi also works
      • In fact perfecto for on the go
      • Freso
        I have no prior experience with that. Clearly, I didn’t even know it existed. :p
      • shivam-kapila
        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
      • Freso
        https://streamyard.com/ works really well too, esp. when wanting to stream as well.
      • Ooh. For G Meet?
      • shivam-kapila
        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
      • 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. :)
      • shivam-kapila
        Yeah. For sure.
      • Freso goes to get some food now]
