Redemption Church of Plano

 I couldn't get the streaming to work consistently on Facebook. It was very choppy. I went back and forth from the Redemption account to Tech Booth Operations and I finally got it to work on Tech Booth Operations but never could on the Redemption account.  Hopefully it will go better next time. We did get everything working with using the iPad but that turned out to be moot since I couldn't get it on FB.

There was an issue with getting the handheld mics to work for Facebook while not in the house. Ron eventually figured it out but it took a few minutes. We should be good to go next week. For the setup, I've created a few documents that will help someone who's not done this before.  I've kind of walked Alex through it but I'll need him to do it a few times to get used to it.  To that end, we can get the software installed on the Macbook Pro in his possession and on the other HP laptop that we used on Super bowl Sunday.  Finding a used iPad or iPhone would be a bit tricky.  The app requires at least iOS 13 so I wouldn't go older than an iPhone 11. The new class looked great. There were some issues with some of the spacing, etc. but it looked very good overall.  We definitely a new slide for it. Speaking of which, I think we could use a bunch of new slides.  I can see about trying to make new slides but they might look a little... amateurish.  Anonymous t...

 I tried a few different things this time around. I had a 'Welcome to Redemption Church slide that had the website and your name.  I used a built in timer for the 5 minute countdown.  This way I could run the slideshow while the 5 minute countdown is going.  There are some limitations as I cannot back up or forward the countdown. So once it begins, it's all or nothing. I think I've figured out a way to use an iPhone as a remote camera. It looks like you can have more than one attached at a time but there are limitations here too. The 'free' version has a watermark at the bottom and is locked in for certain settings. The paid version is about $8.00. If we use a pre-recorded video, I might be able to run it and feed it through the system. However, it would take running it on a different system and I would need to figure out how to do this through the ATEM. If we do it live, then it's just a different camera feed.
