The image on the left shows the YouTube watch page after setting up a YTLE. on the YouTube site itself (note the area for live chat)... The image on the right shows the YouTube watch page after starting a HOA from the UnifiedChat Hangout Extension website (note there is no live chat area but that IS a comment area and comments made here during the live event are saved as comments when the event ends)
This has several ramifications.
Interesting Andrew Hatchett. This is such good stuff. Keep testing kind sir.
ReplyDeleteRamifications can be a good thing! Thanks for testing, Andrew Hatchett . Going forward, it would be a good idea to express perceived inadequacies to Google/YouTube that chat/comments in live events are not preserved in the native app. It may just be a transitional oversight or it may be intentional. In either case, reminding them could bring the desired functionality to a YouTube live broadcast sooner rather than later if they get enough nudges. If not by default, then at least make it an option to preserve/append/merge chat with comments or allow selection of one or the other as long as they are preserved with the vid.
