We are considering using the conference platform called Venueless. There are technical details to figure out.

  • HLS
  • RTMP
  • Simultaneous interpretation?
  • Integration with Streamyard (and restream.io?). These offer backstage workspaces for presenters. Streamyard can pipe both to Venueless (we think) and to YouTube.
  • Integration with Zoom -- maybe just links to zoom meetings. That's enough. For safe-space purposes we want to protect links to zoom meetings/presentation spaces
  • YouTube: Venueless can play a YouTube video, or (we think) a livestream from youtube. It can't send a video to youtube live.
  • Can it record the video during an event?
  • Can we get the interface to show Spanish or English as a user preference? Can we pre-configure the language based on user preferences? These are important, and require some special configuration/development.
  • Safe space / friendly space capabilities look good. Attendees will all have registered in advance or be specifically admitted by us. Users can text to one another or pose comments/questions; admins can silence these posts or ban/exclude a user.
