enjay Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 We're looking into running a live stream of certain school events to screens elsewhere in the school. Does anyone else do this, and if so, how? We don't want to make it public, so Facebook Live, etc. isn't an option, but things like Go2Meeting, Skype, Google Hangouts etc. would be acceptable. Money is available (within reason!) for the equipment and/or services necessary.
3s-gtech Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 VLC can do this via a camera, or you could use Teams, SfB etc. VLC will probably be the easiest way - Media/Stream/Capture Device.
RLR Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 We've been using the free version of Trueconf for a couple years. Works quite well. We're now looking into getting a proper Google Meets setup.
colly72 Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 We've used OBS with VLC before, always worked really well for us and is totally free: https://obsproject.com/ 1
bald_pig Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 Done this with VLC before as well, but it was only basic screen capture and restreaming, I'd be looking at OBS Studio for more complex scenarios with cameras, microphones etc.
TTG_Alice Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 3CX web-meetings could be an option, can show live streaming to anyone with the private web link. No need to download extra software just click on the web link that opens a web browser window 1

No need to download extra software just click on the web link that opens a web browser window Now, that could work quite nicely for us because we already use their VOIP system...
TTG_Alice Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 Reasonably easy to set up too. Just make sure there is an additional mic if you need quality sound
Danp Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 YouTube, public video but only accessible to those who have the link. We have done a few like that. Records it too for saving.
RLR Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 We're just about to start experimenting with Google Meets. Will be purchasing some of the google meets hardware also for specific rooms.
RobFuller Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 OBS Open Broadcaster Software live streams into Microsoft Stream now, not done it myself but if you have O365 tenant another 'free' option. 1
