Petri-X ACK on the bugs. Can you help clarify few things for me?
I must say, that there are still several bugs which I would like to see will be fixed:
>> Even you do not share the video you need to enable your camera, otherwise your voice is not recorded.
[Is the request here to broadcast only audio? What would you like to see in the Stream if only voice needs to be broadcasted?]
>> When you share the content the preview window goes over the "Stop Sharing". Only button available is [End], but that destroy the whole meeting.
[OK - we will look into this one]
>> Even I'm sharing a window, the text says I'm sharing desktop.
[OK - we will look into this one]
>> If I do not share anything, but meeting is runnin the text says: "The live event will continue in a moment". In my mind if I'm speaking all the time, the meeting is running all the time.
[If the curtain says "the live event will continue in a moment", that means we are not streaming any A/V to the attendees. Was your experience that attendees were hearing your sound even when this curtain was being displayed?"
>> The preview window moves only by clicking the top part of the window. It would be easier if you can move no matter from where you try to drag it.
[OK - got the ask]
>> The attendee report does not show participants looking for the records, even the QA does (in case someone ask a question).
[Sorry, I didn't fully understand the issue here. Can you please elaborate? ]
>> When you are on the live, you have three ways to leave the meeting :
1. [Leave] - on top right
2. [End] - Below the live stream
3. [Hang up] - On the preview window
[Clicking on "end" ends the broadcast for the attendees. Producer can click on Leave or Hang up to leave the broadcast - but broadcast is still running as long as any other presenter is actively presenting]
>> The logic when having only one presenter: when you select the share on the live event, that goes to live directly. What is the purpose of the Queue on the left site?
[We will be optimizing the experience further when there is a single presenter]
- If you have many different speakers it would be nice to have own chat channel for the meeting between them.
[There is a chat channel between the event team members (producers/presenters.]
