JJust a quick post to say sorry about In My Mug #150 live. Those of you who came along to join in will have found me in rather a flummox with it all.
Google + hangouts seemed like the perfect platform to do this on. In fact, in early testing, it seemed perfect. But during the testing I never thought about limits. When I made it live, ten people ran into the room and I soon found there was a limit.
I tried in a panic to stream it, but that wouldn’t work, and then I got kicked out of my own room.
I managed to cobble something together and Iām in the process of trying to edit it, but if you did miss out, I am super sorry. I aimed high and missed. We do have something that I think is a first for coffee, and I learned a lot about how I would do it next time. I think that one will be an interesting In My Mug.
But BIG sorry from me, I hope you can forgive me for being a tech idiot š
Don’t be sorry for aiming high.
We get the coffee that we do because you aim high
Thank you roland your too kind
We shall have to disagree on that one š
Tests were made, limits were found, things were learned for the IMM200 š
We use Elluminate in our school, it is web/app software made for low bandwith use, I think there are no limits and moderator can determine/ compose the picture for everyone, incl. webcams and mics of the attendees. We could set up a quick demo if you’d like, Steve.
Hmmm sounds very interesting (elluminate not Roland disagreeing with me) we should talk Frei in a few weeks once the bruises heal
Roland’s right š
Sorry to hear it went wrong – don’t give up because of it though! Looking forward to IMM 150a, if there is one.
It was a good idea, shame it didn’t work out. Here’s to the next time anyway. Ustream might be another possibility, I’ve no idea how it works from a broadcaster’s point of view but as viewer i seems to work OK.
Anyway, looking forward to the next IMM and enjoying the Sumatrans.
Thanks Rebecca and Chris you made me feel a lot happier thank you
No harm done! We love you anyway š
Aah you hit the 10 person per hangout limit, great idea though, now google+ is open to the masses, time for them to up the limit.
