Hi all, I'm one of the participants in the selfie events (pre-conference workshop, panel, and fishbowl), and we're trying to figure out how we can best allow non-attendees to participate. We'd like to livestream the events and include some sort of participation from watchers (a chat channel, at least). I was looking at UStream but they have "pivoted" to enterprise use and if there's another possibility I'd like to explore that. Any ideas? What have people used for streaming that has worked well for them? We'll probably just bring an extra laptop with a webcam and use that to stream the events, but other suggestions are welcome.

Hi, This is my area of expertise, as I regularly run webcasts for ISOC. YouTube offer a good free service, it's a little quirky, needs a practice or two, but works well. Allows embedding. Other pluses - it's html5 and IPv6 and converts to multibitrate. Segmenting is hard, but one can index afterwards. Easy enough to set up separate events for all three tracks. You do need to have a YouTube channel that is validated via SMS. Alternatively we at ISOC could lend you a Livestream server, f'rinstance http://bit.ly/isoctv - Simple software client - Segmenting is easy. Just stop and start on the breaks. and it's possible, if you have the slides on the streaming machine, to easily do split screen. Only one track. But, and it's a big but, what really matters is getting a clean audio signal - preferably a direct line from the board - alternatively the output from a zoom recorder positioned close to either speakers or the podium. There'[s a further tricky bit to match input to the pc unless it has line in. Happy to help in any way I can. joly On Tue, Oct 14, 2014 at 12:18 PM, Alice E. Marwick <amarwick@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi everyone, I think Joly makes excellent points, and from my experience streaming for the german Heinrich-Böll Foundation I can only emphasize that clean audio is very important if not the most important aspect of Web casting. Unless you have slides/presentations that provide some visual stimulus, webcasts are usually pretty boring excepting what is being said.

One "gotcha" with YouTube: if you happen to have music playing (and it could be almost anything, from something in the background to something someone uses as part of their slides), youtube will catch it within seconds (their robots will), and blacklist you. Not only does that cut off your stream in the middle of an event, but it can take *months* to get your account reinstated, even if you have a completely legitimate claim to fair use or whatever. We had a speaker include a small snippet of a film soundtrack - she is an expert on sound in films - and ... BANG ... our account was banished to the "bad boys" club, limiting us to streams of 5 minutes or less. Grrr. We eventually made our way back to Yahoo's good graces, but beware that this is a "Guilty until proven innocent" world, and the robots don't care about your academic purpose or legitimacy of use. ...r ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Edwin Dittrich" <s.e.dittrich@gmail.com> To: joly@punkcast.com Cc: "Researchers" <air-l@listserv.aoir.org>, "Alice E.
