This is for small outfits and some bigger. Purpose is to eliminate the volunteers and the committees from managing these things and getting clicky. Same mosque "IT" keeps changing settings in the mixer and distorting the audio, then complains that the audio is distorted. They were given specific "DO NOT TOUCH" sliders... wanna guess which sliders they touch first?
The streaming issues are historically "facebook is down" call. Its always because the nerd dicked with something on the streaming and facebook is in fact up. I want to just be able to set things up, download a config, and when facebook is down remote in, restore and tell them to update their key. Im a lazy fuck, I dont want to troubleshoot, I want to restore, send an hour invoice, and go back to what i was doing, which is fuckall, thats what they interrupt On Wed, Jun 4, 2025 at 3:53 PM Ken Hohhof <[email protected]> wrote: > We have a church that uses OBS to stream to Facebook.
