Karen, I set up a test stream this morning for my own testing purposes. In the past I had attended streams, but this is my first time creating one. Here is what I can asses so far...
- When someone first connects to the stream they will be shown a 30 second commercial, and then the live stream will kick in. There will also be Youtube style "see-thru" footer ads occasionally while the stream is running. For the record, it appears that to remove the adds we would have to pay $99 a month. - If viewers want to chat with us, they will have to create a ustream login right before they can post to the chat room dedicated to my ustream channel's "show/broadcast". Btw, my laptop's microphone might not work so well in a large conference room. I can try to do another test in a much larger space, but I might not have the time before the conference. I might be able to try it out in a medium sized room. Email me directly if you want to try out the live stream I am running today so you can see the service for yourself. Let me know what you guys think, Yamil On Apr 18, 2011, at 3:39 PM, Karen Collier wrote: > Yamil, > > That sounds like a very promising option to me.
