<br>
it did not go well<br>
<br>
We were chatting in jitsi prior to starting, but once I started the<br>
meeting I could no longer hear others.<br>
<br>
We moved to bluejeans and a couple of us were not able to connect.<br>
<br>
Afterwards I tested zoom with Mac. Had some issues there as well. Sound<br>
kept getting reset. Perhaps that's what was happening with jitsi. As I<br>
wasn't presenting in zoom, we took time to get my client reset.<br>
<br>
I haven't had that type of problem with either jitsi or zoom in the past.<br>
Perhaps it was something I was doing last night.<br>
<br>
In testing zoom, I discovered that attendees have to present a name and<br>
email address. Neither have to be accurate and the domain doesn't need to<br>
exist.<br>
<br>
We were able to test making me a host, giving attendees the mic and taking<br>
it away. We're up for more testing tonight if anyone wants to get familiar<br>
with the host tools. Not too complicated, but it some unexpected places.<br>
<br>
zoom requires an app or browser plugin. You can't just use a browser as we<br>
can with jitsi and BigBlueButton.<br>
<br>
We can configure zoom to not allowing anyone into the conference until the<br>
host shows up to avoid a Slap Shot style pre-game. (diable Join by host)<br>
<br>
We can also put attendees in their own waiting rooms until a host places<br>
them in the conference. (enable Waiting room)<br>
<br>
Mac also pointed out that zoom can live stream to YouTube. We can also do<br>
that with jitsi. We could then setup the video conferencing for only<br>
speakers and moderators and everyone else views via YouTube. We then take<br>
questions via IRC or other mechanism. I believe we can do a hidden YouTube<br>
broadcast that goes away after the meeting. We could use Brian's account<br>
for that or setup a new account.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you'd like to help with testing tonight.<br>
<br>
ciao,<br>
