bigsquid, you guys are the best
On November 28, 2012 @ 10:22 pm

jerry stephens opened their gaping maw and spake:

Seriously, you need to stop switching from one person to the other… very distracting. I was an online instructer for a school for a couple years, you need to review and watch what you look like on screen. When a person is talking, keep the camera on that person.
- On November 28, 2012 @ 10:31 pm
  
  Jeff commented thusly:
  
  Thanks for the feedback, I too think it’s annoying. Unfortunately it’s a sideeffect of the google hangout software, we don’t have nearly as much control as we’d like. It’s all pretty much automated by the software. We’re certainly going to be looking into ways to improve our presentation as we go along.

    Zach B attempted to articulate the following, but failed:
    
    Pretty sure whoever’s PC was streaming this can lock onto a single person by double clicking their feed along the bottom. I think that’s how it works it a regular g-hangout – been a while since I’ve been in one and not sure how what you’re using differs from the “normal” version. The only issue with that is you have to keep on clicking on people to change the camera.
  - On November 28, 2012 @ 10:44 pm
    
    Jeff said:
    
    Yeah, we discussed and played with that feature, but we decided to let it ride this first time. Next show we’ll try the manual switching to see if that works any better.

  Jeff broke a vow of silence to say:
  
  We’re discussing it. Right now, this just happened to be a time that worked for all of us while we were at home, or in Cubby’s case, in the car.
On November 28, 2012 @ 10:26 pm

jerry stephens opened their gaping maw and spake:

Can you have some guests on (like us in your audience)
- On November 28, 2012 @ 11:25 pm
  
  Jeff said:
  
  Anything is possible. Our exact format is still up in the air. Right now we’re playing it by what we think is going to work. If our audience (all you guys and gals) tell us differently then we’ll make changes (within reason).

On November 28, 2012 @ 10:33 pm

Zach B opened their gaping maw and spake:

Having to leave comments on this page makes watching the vid kinda hard. When you leave a comment here, the page refreshes and kills the live feed so you miss a few seconds of talking while you wait for the page to reload and hit play. I’m assuming you want the comments on your own website so you can dq those who try to cheat the system?
- On November 28, 2012 @ 11:10 pm
  
  Jeff broke a vow of silence to say:
  
  Excellent point, thank you. We’ll be investigating other options for future shows. Perhaps a live chat box embedded below the video.
