Reply To: [ENDED] BC1-1801 – January Class Homepage – Getting Started with 3D Modeling & Blender

After the stream yesterday, I got to thinking about our recordings and the fact that they completely lose the context of the chat. Unfortunately I can forget to read every question I answer or I’ll make a passing comment based on another passing comment I see..And I wonder if people watching the recorded stream get lost by that lack of context.

So I’m going to try a stream overlay next week that incorporates the chat into the stream like this:

The PRO’s being:

1.  Video will maintain direct chat context
2. My face is no longer covering parts of the Blender UI
3. Looks more legit overall maybe?

The CONs: 

1. During broadcast, the stream will be duplicated (website UI + video) and delayed. While that’s redundant on one hand, on the other it may be helpful to see exactly what I’m looking at in the chat.

Any thoughts about testing this format next week?
