Some majored concerns discussed around why we may need to record a meeting/presenter:
- The need to simulcast. eg, your meeting space is too small for all or two meeting places are needed due to distances and locations
- Streaming the meeting live for anyone remotely to participate
- Recording for historical purposes
- Remote presenters
- Permissions and legalities
Why would you want to record your meeting?
Should we record a meeting?
- will attendance drop?
- we should be as community leaders regardless
- speaker reluctance?
How?
Hardware based:basic approach is to 'hijack' the presenters display via a splitter or capture device and record on a separate machine and then post process it later.
- video splitter, lower quality
- active splitter, higher quality
- frame grabber software
- need a Mic - snoflake/snoball
- need a host; self, vimeo, etc
pros: high quality, can convert to multiple platforms
cons: expense, pretty much only a historical approach, time consuming to post-process
Software based: basic approach is to use a service and a plugin to broadcast a 'screen share'. This broadcast can be live and/or historical. Some tools for this include:
pros: ease of use, live and/or historical, most viewers are multi-platform, no post-process time
cons: the presenter needs a plugin which may not be cross-platform, costs for large groups.
Some of the above tools are free up to a limited number of users. Dimdim is free up to 20 users. Others can be costly, but look to sponsors for help here. In particular, both MS and Adobe provide access to their tools to official UGs.
