Steven was
Mike Briercliffe
You’re misquoting me there
Steven Healey
My apologies such is live broadcasting.
Alfredo Tigolo

Nazim Beltran
Not enough bandwidth maybe.
Steven Healey
Could be
Mike Briercliffe
Nobody talks about Napster anymore – but they broke the barrier in the music game
Steven Healey
Indeed they did
Alfredo Tigolo
You have to head to the smile time channel Nazim Beltran https://smiletime.com/channel/stevenhealey
Mike Briercliffe

Nazim Beltran

Nazim Beltran
Hello folks!
Steven Healey
Hello Nazim 🙂
April Roga
Alfredo, I have found instructional videos and articles via Google searches and all of it is outdated. OBS menus are different now than at the time many of these DIY videos were recorded.
Steven Healey
Vmix + Leland Best might help
Leland Best
Depends on which version you’re using. Even though the menu items look a little different, the principles haven’t changed. Don’t forget there is also a regular version and a “Studio” version of OBS, maybe include that in your search.
Alfredo Tigolo
April Roga look into chroma key setups for OBS which requires blue, green, or red background to have an image show up behind you
Mike Briercliffe
I’m speaking of functionality
April Roga
Alfredo, no – just a static image (pretty skyline backdrop and such) so people are not having to look at my ugly couches LOL
Alfredo Tigolo
Mike Briercliffe blab made it easier to discovered, but the company decided to kill the blab to focus on bebo.com
Alfredo Tigolo
April Roga screen sharing images behind?
Mike Briercliffe
This is very “Blab” like is it not?
Steven Healey
Closest I have seen . it is more powerful 🙂
Mike Briercliffe
No doubt. But the approach has similarities
April Roga
Since all of those “in the know” are here in one space … is there a free app / program that allows you to bring images behind you for live stream when using OBS or other third party software? So far I have had NO success in finding anything free.
Steven Healey
Can we do a show together and check the options ?
Paul Finkelstein Dtm
So smile time handles more than one window in a live
Steven Healey
4 live feeds , though as David said 3 people and one graphic
Paul Finkelstein Dtm
Live feeds how
April Roga
I was just curious whether or not Smiletime feels an impetus to make their platform more attractive to draw viewers directly to their platform. That is why I asked the question. Thanks for answering.
Alfredo Tigolo
Paul Finkelstein its the layout manager on slimetime application http://smiletime.com
Paul Finkelstein Dtm
How
Paul Finkelstein Dtm
Ok three small boxes
Paul Finkelstein Dtm
Ok now there are two boxes plus Steven in my fb live
Steven Healey
4 boxes in total , a box can be a person or a graphic. You can change how they show on the screen at any time (as you saw)
Paul Finkelstein Dtm
You make the changes in smile time app?
Alfredo Tigolo
you mean Paul Finkelstein broadcasting to other platforms at the same time?
Paul Finkelstein Dtm
Ok so what app gets more than one video in one fb live ?
Steven Healey
Smiletime or BeLive.tv .
Alfredo Tigolo
Its about getting people to see the feed in one location
April Roga
What I don’t understand is – what would entice viewers to go directly to Smiletime vs. Facebook? I always view via FB LIVE rather than Smiletime because I see no reason to go directly to Smiletime.
Steven Healey
I think the same, if you are not appearing in the show Facebook is better. That said the integration of comments on FB and Smiletime is sweet. You can address both audiences
Leland Best
The reason to go to Smiletime is simple, there are more ways to interact and that’s the only place the host can invite other people into their shows. 🙂
Alfredo Tigolo
the audio and video look fine to me
Barb Tomlin
Sadly, the audio and video into Facebook from Smiletime still do not sync well.
Steven Healey
I know 🙁
Adrian Hibbert
You are covering the slides ..
Steven Healey
Inadvertently
Mike Briercliffe
This is good!
Mike Briercliffe
I can see this 🙂
Adrian Hibbert
What about OBS ? Is that any good ?
Steven Healey
Hello Adrian, thank you for joining .It is an option
Alfredo Tigolo
good morning folks
Steven Healey
Good morning Alfredo
Barb Tomlin
The news release already came out. I posted it in group
Steven Healey
Thank you Barb, interesting
Clare Evans
Hi Steven and David (waves)
Steven Healey
Hello Clare , glad you joined us on camera . Can we chat this week ?
Clare Evans
Liking your sign in the background David! 🙂
Chris Ripka
You have some electrical interference dave.
Steven Healey
He did , thank you for confirming that Chris
Chris Ripka
That happens when you use a mixer and you are crossing low quality wires.
Clare Evans
It’s a comment more than anything.
Steven Healey
I know and took it exactly as you said it 🙂
Clare Evans
That’s what you get using beta … 🙂
Steven Healey
We have no option 🙂 Wait David just said Smiletime is out of beta
Chris Ripka
Is there a new bug in Smiletime.
Sage Bramhall Ouchark
Low speed here
