Call for presenters - User meeting Colgne 2014

<< < (2/2)

Martin Iturbide:
Hi Neil.

There are several ones, sadly not of them runs on OS/2-eCS.
For example Google's Hangouts, Skype, Ustream... or with software like OpenBroadcaster.

Maybe the most easy way will be to have a Win/Linux machine connected to a Camera, and connected to the audio mic, and run a Google Hangout that shows at the same time (live) at YouTube.  https://www.google.com/hangouts/

From the open source side, I had seen more Linux lovers to use Jitsi - https://jitsi.org/  Or as a service https://meet.jit.si (but it only runs on Chrome).

The trick is to connect the mic and the Video camera to the computer streaming this, so the people connected can hear and see the conferences.

Hi Neil

Google's Hangout on Air seems to be very easy to use: https://plus.google.com/hangouts/onair

It will have to be streamed from a Windows/Linux box, but OS/2 users can see the video from the site with the Flash plugin.  I was just testing on Firefox 24 that I was able to see the video from that site with the flash plugin.

We can give it a try if we meet online.

Quite possible that it'll also work with VLC or MPlayer. Perhaps you can test?

Martin Iturbide:
Thanks Dave.

I'm just reading that you can stream your desktop with VLC - https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=117968
It will be interesting if it runs on OS2-eCS, but sadly we do not have the link between the WebCam driver and VLC (or am I wrong?)

Google hangout is proprietary and I'm not sure if VLC can be used as client. I will check around.

Regards.
