OK, this is cool.
A few seconds after I downloaded the free app “Livestream Podcaster” I was streaming live video from the AltamontCowork public computer to Facebook!
I have tried Justin TV and Ustream as our “Virtual Window” but both dropped the calls, after awhile, within a few minutes. Hmmmm, I wonder if it was Comcast limiting me?
Sooo, I’m trying Livestream. Looks like the same software as Justin TV and Ustream and I still have Comcast, so I’m pretty sure, one way or another, the calls will start dropping. No matter, this is cool anyway.
One really nice feature is you can give a live presentation using slides and video and audio to a Facebook audience. See picture below.
Sweeet.
Ads interrupt the video stream every few minutes.
I won’t be doing this long term, but, as a cool experiment (and blog entry), it was fun playing with it.
My Opinion
The world of video communication (either interactive or one way streaming) is moving at lightspeed right now and I am seeing nearly all the predictions, hopes, and dreams I had for this technology the past 20 years coming to fruition! WhooHoo!
Great stuff!
Now all I need to do is find something that will come true now….so I can live to see it.
