00:00:00 Intro
00:00:08 What is the new device for the Stream Deck that Elgato is showing at ISE?
00:05:34 Patrick Tomasso thinks, 'many modern movies don’t look like “movies” anymore', and gives some good examples and comparisons. What do you think? [link]
00:14:07 We weren’t asking how to get HD in Zoom, so other than price, what's the difference between using an Echo Show (or the old Meta Portal) or the Dten all with the HD bumps vs an iPad for zoom?
00:16:52 NASA is going to have a Q&A with ISS astronauts streamed on Twitch. Being a gaming-first platform, wouldn't you think it would attract a less mature audience than other streaming platforms like YouTube?
00:20:37 Looking for a simple, reliable solution to livestream wirelessly outside, potentially in the rain, to a Facebook page for 4 hours. Any iPhone or cheaper methods on how this could be done? This would be broadcast over a 4G mobile network.
00:26:00 RTMP vs HLS pros and cons?
00:32:55 Hi Crew, I would like to use a QR code throughout an Event floor or on projected screens to allow our attendees to submit any questions/comments they may have at any given time. Is there an industry standard QR generator service that you recommend?
00:39:37 Would a single 5G cellular router be sufficient to ensure connectivity for a livestream or would it be wiser to always have a secondary line? The venue only offers shared Wi-Fi connection and we are trying to balance cost & reliability.
00:44:33 I have three BMD Studio 6k Pro cameras for my mobile podcast kit. What suggestions do you have for a hardcase to transport them?
00:48:50 Hi OH! Does anyone know of any Ai ASL services (Real-Time Animated ASL), does it exist yet? Thanks All.
00:49:43 I'm a low-vision user, looking try a VR headset for productivity. Which one is the best for using as a virtual computer monitor these days? Which one is the best for zooming in on content to make it giant?
00:51:33 I used Spacecommz recently with Jonas and John. The audio was so good, that Jonas thought we were still talking on Zoom! What audio codecs are they using to get such great audio quality?
00:52:45 Can anyone recommend a nice soft case with small enough compartments where I can store a handful of IEMs?
00:56:24 Looking for a case for a Insta360 Link2. Any suggestions? Thanks!
00:56:59 I was wondering if you need both VidIQ and Opus Clip to build up your YouTube channel. We lost the channel and really want to build up a new channel fast. Any thoughts?
00:57:27 What app do you prefer for LLM-assisted writing?
