Live streaming pitfalls

• Sound
  • There's echo/reverb when using loudspeakers
    • Solution 1 : plug the speakers' mic directly to the streaming computer
    • Solution 2 : do not use loudspeakers
  • There's mobile phone noise
    • Solution 1 : use a shielded microphone
    • Solution 2 : turn off all cellphones around the mic
• Image
  • The screen is overexposed (thus not readable)
    • Solution 1 : Have a camera film the screen only (and adjust exposure and focus for it) and switch to this camera;
    • Solution 2 : Have the slides on the streaming computer and stream the desktop;
    • Solution 3 : Grab the projector signal and stream it.
    • Solution 4 : Move the camera to film the screen only
  • The image is blurry
    • Solution 1 : turn on the light to help autofocus
    • Solution 2 : disable autofocus and focus manually
  • The screen is too small, text is unreadable
    • Same as "The screen is overexposed"
  • The video isn't smooth
    • Solution 1 : restart the streaming software if it's faulty
    • Solution 2 : use a network cable instead of WiFi if connection is faulty
• Viewers
  • Stopping the stream interrupts the video immediately for all viewers
    • Always leave the stream on for a few more minutes to let viewers have a chance to see the end
  • Viewers can not ask questions
    • Solution 1 : Have someone repeat their question in the room
    • Solution 2 : Display questions on screen (Google Moderator, Twitter, IRC, etc.)
  • Viewers can not hear questions in the room
    • Solution 1 : have the speaker repeat each question before answering
    • Solution 2 : have a microphone for questions in the room
  • Viewers do not know if the image is frozen or if nothing's happening
    • Have an animation on screen when nothing is happening
