Monthly Seminars

Hey all, just gauging some interest on a monthly seminar that we could hold online. My idea is to use something like Skype to do demos and answer questions from people in real time, and allow up too 24 others to join in and watch/ask questions. Basically people would join the channel, I would share my screen with them, and we would go from there. I would want to get questions from people beforehand so we could prep some answers. If things go well, we could invite LW people, and others who know a lot more about the scripting of HL to come join us from time to time and give us information about the difficult topics.

I am just starting to set this up, but want to see if anyone is interested in something like this. So if you are interested, just reply to this. If we get enough folks, I'll move forward with it. Thanks.
 
Count me in.

I didn't know you could share windows or desktops in Hangouts.
Yes, and it's called Screenshare.

I just tried it with Hero Lab, no idea how well it will work out.

I think Skype is the best choice. The screen sharing is much faster then some of the other sites I tried. We did a test on thursday and everything went fine, I just need to have the Premier package, which is $5.00 a month. So I'll get that in a few days. Then its just a matter of setting it p and getting questions from folks.
 
Skype premium looks like it allows 10 users, so nine besides the presenter.

$5/month if you pay for a year, $10 if you go month to month.
 
hhhmmm, well I am open for suggestions on a decent service that can do what we need. I was trying to use Quicktime, but can figure out how to do the broadcast f my screen.
 
I need to look more into team viewer, but the other two are expensive. Teamviewer might be like $700 to buy as well, in order to get the better features.
 
Honestly, why not start a YouTube channel and then post a video. There's a place for feedback right there, heck maybe even talk them into your own Q&A thread here where you can post after each one. Then the material is available for anyone to view when they have the time. After the video, then you can set up a few audio sessions via chat servers (like ventrillo or something like that)
 
Already have a youtube channel, just check the taglinr on this post. I get a lot of questions from people through the mail system here. I know several people do. I was just trying to provide an interactive forum for people to work on issues. I would also like to record the sessions and post them on youtube as well, but one thing at a time.

We use Teamviewer7 at my current client as we have programmers around the world. It so far is free and works really good for displaying your screen. I think it has built in chat but we don't use that as we just conference call people in.

I don't remember the maximum number of clients. About the only downfall is its a client based service so each person has to install the software on their PC. That can cause some problems for people.
 
Teamviewer is free for private/personal use.

Using it for business purposes means you're supposed to buy a license.

In our case here, since we're not associated with LW, I think we're good.

All true. What can I say I work for a cheap client currently. If they don't have to pay they won't. :(

Does not make it right just how it is sometimes....
