Gregory's Server… apologies to all of our new subscribers, it looks like I am going to have to post a short of our chicken Blue having a bit of a fly

 Update on this: YouTube still won't let me transmit live from my iPhone in their app, despite having over 100 subscribers AND a published short... but it turns out the YouTube desktop web application lets me broadcast live just fine, and I can use macOS continuity camera feature to have that broadcast using my iPhone as the microphone and video camera So all set for Wednesday! I'll be carting both a laptop and a phone @simon It can take between 4 and 6 days for any change to happen. When I passed the 4000 hours and 1000 subscribers, back when, it took them six(!) weeks to even allow me to apply for monetization. Hang in there, might be opened by the time that happens. Closing the loop on this: our event went very well, and the livestream mostly worked great bar a Firefox crash losing a few minutes of audio I wrote up notes on what I learned about livestreaming here https://til.simonwillison.net/youtube/livestreaming @simon what did you use for connectivity? Venue WiFi or tethered to your iPhone cellular? Any issues with tethering & continuity camera? That’s often the hardest part of remote streaming you can’t know what the connection will be like especially when the place is full of attendees @sammachin venue WiFi, which I tested a few days ago and seemed fast enough My backup plan was LTE, and my backup-backup plan was not to stream at all but to video the event and post to YouTube afterwards @simon thanks for sharing your experience. We'll try to stream the next Python Pescara meetup. Have you thought to embed video usign "youtube-lite-embed" that @thibaudcolas promoted in his DjangoCon US 2024 talks ? @paulox @thibaudcolas I've used that myself a few times but to be honest I forgot it existed this time! @simon seen this? https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9228390 Although from recent work with the YouTube API, there seem to be their published rules and then the actual rules, and the two are often miles apart. @radiac yeah that’s what I’ve been working through, I think I’ve hit all those points now |
