The Rough Road To Videochatting

I had talked for about three minutes when I saw an IM from Helaine. No one on the outside could see me!

Glad I’m typing now because my throat is a little sore. I just finished a one hour videochat. It was fine though it didn’t go as planned. I remember shows like this in ‘real’ TV too! Lots of them.

I was all set to go live using the Livestream.com Procaster. I hit the button and began. Everything looked fine. I had talked for about three minutes when I saw an IM from Helaine. No one on the outside could see me! I have no idea why.

I made a quick switch to a web based controlled, but I was giving up a lot of functionality. I had webpages and graphics set to show. Now they’d be a no show. Frustrating.

Before I do this again I need to figure out what went wrong and how to keep it from going wrong again. There will be more chats.

I’m Videochatting Friday at 7:00 PM

There’s no registration or webcam needed on your part. If you have questions bring ’em!

Earlier this week I experimented with videochatting. The response was great though limited by my account on Livestream. Now I’m approved for unlimited streams so let’s try it again Friday evening at 7:00 PM EDT (2300 UTC).

There’s no registration or webcam needed on your part. If you have questions bring ’em!

It’s fun. I hope you’re looking forward to it as much as I am.
