We were trying to build webinars on our platform, and used hangouts on air once, but it somehow felt odd to use and we weren't entirely sure what goes on (for example, one of the speakers disappeared and we couldn't see him, only this generic avatar).
Would crowdcast solve these problems by providing a better interface for the presenter(s)? or is it still relying on the existing hangouts interface?
- saidur 11y agoYeah the hangout interface is pretty bad. We've been able to get our viewers to completely avoid the hangout interface and use Crowdcast for all interactions. Right now only the speakers have to deal with the hangout interface. The host invites them directly to the hangout. Although it works fine 90% of the time, we were able to run the largest virtual conf in history, every once in a while hangouts does still do strange things. Luckily for that reason we made Crowdcast decoupled from the video service, you can use it with Livestream, Ustream, or anything with an embed code.
- gingerlime 11y agoThanks! We might give it a try then for one of the next webinars. It looks promising.
