Let's try and have an online movie night (yeah, I confess... I got the idea from a particular thread on General Cam Chat ).
I'd like to try through Skype. I can make a private room, and people don't need an account to enter, they can do it as anonymous guests. I've done that before. So you don't have to worry about showing personal information, like your Skype name or avatar (in case it is personal). You don't even need to install the app, it's possible to login to a Skype private room through browser, on a PC, if you have the right web address. I've done that before as well. I'd share it with only those that post they want to join, through individual PMs here on the forum. That way, the web address to the private room will never be public. And it's probably best, bandwith-wise, if I use OBS's virtual webcam to stream the movie, instead of Skype's default share-window option. I have a decent Internet speed and a gaming laptop, so I think it can work!
I might have been giving this some thought... hahaha!
So I need help to make a test. Any volunteers? We can set up a date and time and I'd stream a 15-minute short or something to see if it does work. If so, we can have a movie night, latter on!
Please, let me know here if you'd like to help out with the test.
