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 til.simonwillison.net/youtube/

@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

Simon Willison

@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!
