Apparently Google are discontinuing live Hangouts and making people use YouTube (source: http://venturebeat.com/2016/08/15/google-is-discontinuing-google-hangouts-on-air-on-september-12-pushes-users-to-youtube-live/). Given the notorious toxicity of YouTube comments, that mightn't be the right solution for you. 

We (the MCG) are Periscoping at least one of the keynotes from our October conference (come along! https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mcgs-museumstech-2016-sharing-our-stories-tickets-26558279529 ) but we've found it hard to save the stream to archive previous events. 

Cheers, Mia

Dear MCGers,


We are looking into live streaming our events and I was wondering if anyone had any advice.

 

Equipment-wise, we have a mini DV camera with HDMI output, which could connect to a Macbook through one of these gizmos. But if anyone can think of an alternative I’d be keen to hear. We’re on a shoestring so it couldn’t be anything fancy.

 

We were thinking of using Google Hangouts to stream evening events for free. But for specialist conferences we might consider a paywall, using a service like Webinars On Air.

 

So, any advice on live streaming equipment and service providers, and thoughts on charging?

 

Thanks in advance
Stefan
