Skype Meeting Broadcast - recommendations when feeding video clips into Event?
nomorephones and Dean Suzuki we are still struggling with this (case # referenced above by Michael) We are now with the PG on this as there is definitely an issue that we can now trace to some sort of DSP happening either Skype client side or in the backend. We can reproduce this 100% of the time on media clips that contain music components - basically it seems the processing is trying to suppress what it interprets to be background or other noise.
In short we are really struggling - the service works great when we are doing talking heads, slides, etc. And will even do great when rolling a video clip with speakers and light background music. However when we load up anything like a "sizzle" marketing clips that is music in the foreground - we get squashed and the audio disappears for seconds at a time repeatedly.
Wanted to post this clarficiation as at first we didn't have the definitive behavior - but now we know this is in fact AUDIO processing related and nothing to do with the H.264 video encode per se.
This is a concern for us as well - we are still considering a live streaming and VOD solution, and we have SfB on-prem already with O365 and running Hybrid. We're looking at Skype Meeting Broadcast as a realtime town-hall delivery system, and those frequently include stored video vignettes that need to be passed through from our live presenters/live audience through the Broadcast feed - and naturally, to store that for VOD in Office 365 Video later for our attendees that weren't able to attend live.
Is Microsoft addressing this in their roadmap without incorporating these ManyCam and other workarounds because of the quality issues, or even just making PowerPoint embedded videos work and be supported by Microsoft during a Skype Meeting Broadcast.
Just found this thread, wondering where everyone landed on this.
Bump!
Not landed at all...
