I have a question
I watched the 2nd event on CCHOA last night. I understand that the point of view that Heather Kraafter was coming from is creating a Public live event whose primary venue (where Comments are allowed) is within her Community, so that people who are not part of the Community can see the event happening, but cannot comment unless they are (or become) a Community member.
I was trying to follow along, and I managed to go into YouTube and set up a new live event, scheduled for tonight. I used the QUICK option, and I pasted the link to the event into my Community. This community, however, is a fully Private one, so I understand at this point I veer off topic.
However, I am stuck. When the time comes to do the event tonight, do I go to the YouTube area, and start the event, and will it then just show in my Community and save there as a permanent production?
Yes. When it is time to get into the green room as we call it, go back to the youtube live event list and you are able to START from there. Since you placed the video where you want it viewed it will be seen there.
ReplyDeleteYou're only lacking the use of comment tracker in a private community.
Thanks Heather Kraafter . I understand.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I seem to have created two events, and I have no idea how. I have never hosted an event before, and I was just testing this, but now one of my knee surgeon colleagues has said 'Yes' to one of them.
Do you think one of the User2User live people could be invited temporarily into my private community and tell me what I have done there? Within the next few hours?? Can I send you or Andi an invite to be a member for a few minutes?
Andrew Hatchett helped me out, thanks Heather Kraafter
ReplyDeletesorry, I was showering lol - glad Andrew Hatchett is on top of it (as usual!)
ReplyDeleteHow did you end up with the 2 events Sheila Strover.........just out of curiosity?
ReplyDeleteDigiDesk - hi Irene. You know, I really had no idea. I started with the YouTube live event and it went ok, and I picked up the url and put it into the Community, and got the grey 'TV' box ok. Then I did something and saw a blue button to start an event, but I cannot remember where it came from - and suddenly I had made an event that did not have any 'TV' box (or trailer area).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the long and short of it is that I deleted them both, went back to Ronnie's notes, and made an ordinary proper event and got it all to work. The system that the CCHOA was addressing is not at this stage relevant to my Communities, but I will go back to it if I need to as I understand what Heather was trying to achieve.
Something that I did learn that may be useful to people is to make a tiny community of a couple of friends and then use that community to practise setting up events. Then it does not mess up your existing community stream or calendars.
Thanks Sheila Strover for the information and the experimentation! :)
ReplyDeleteoh yes Sheila Strover I learned that the hard way myself (the need for a "practice" community) I should add that to my notes.
ReplyDeleteI think the hardest part about the process I use is that it seems so counter intuitive to what we KNOW should work in "marketing" and that makes it difficult to follow through I think. I trusted the people around me and eventually the system as tested it immensely before going live. Had I not had faith in the group AND the system it may have never gone any further for me.
When you are ready and want the community to be the "housing" for your events/HOAs let us know - we are here to help.
Could BHOA fit in to the CCHOA scenario Heather Kraafter. Any thoughts?
ReplyDeleteI do believe it can DigiDesk - I saw Andrew Hatchett 's use of the EVENT page adding the link into BHOA using the "ticket seller link" and it floored me!
ReplyDeleteYou would not begin from the YouTube side. There might not be a "post" with the video just sitting there and waiting for people to come and watch, like I do (the people on the outside of the glass peering in) but you would still have a community centered HOA that has the same functions as mine does for the most part.
I assume a lot of this as we have not "tested" any of it - but I see it working for what we are doing at the moment in User2User LIVE. For instance, tonight we have a Pixlr demo with Terry and Andrew used the ticket seller in and event page to get guests to register. You then go to your email and enter through that.
pretty darn cool!
Yipideedooda!!! Heather Kraafter (sorry about the spelling)
ReplyDeleteSee you later Heather Kraafter when we all become Pixlr experts...
