Thank you, Michael

Thank you, Michael
I would like to thank Michael Daniels for helping me to troubleshoot an issue with a new Page. I was trying to follow the system he helped Susan Finch with, to enable one to launch an HOA directly from a url. He found that it was the lack of a 'verification' of the YouTube channel that was causing the problem.

Bless you, Michael Daniels .

Join us at 4p ET / 1p PT in welcoming Andrew Hatchett and having some fun chatting!  We'll be talking about the moving parts and pieces of an HOA - who does what and what the different responsibilities are for a Guest, Host, Co-Host and Wingperson.  Meloney Hall isn't able to join us today but will be "keeping an eye" on us (we think).  We'd love to hear your questions or comments.

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!    #lightscamerahoa now has its very own Google+ Page!  This means that Rayne Dowell  and Sheila Strover  will be able to launch the Show as well!  As managers of this G+ page, this will truly be a big help to everyone involved!

But there is something YOU need to do right now --  CIRCLE this new page so you can automatically get notifications of upcoming shows AND be on future shows!  You can also share this page with others who are looking for a #placetopractice to gain quality LIVE on-camera experiences.  Those who want to gain some Comment Tracking experiences are also welcome!

It is so exciting for us to provide this FREE service as a way to pay-it-forward to others.   We all start somewhere and need a helping hand to take that first step.  Will you be taking your first step with us?

Guests who have requested to be on the show will receive the JOIN HOA notification 30 minutes before we GO-LIVE on-air to prep inside the “green room” (pre-show area).  Guests will also be invited to stay with us after the show for a quick “WOW, I Did It” release-of-joy moment!

Recording a Slideshare presentation (or Powerpoint) in a Business HOA

Recording a Slideshare presentation (or Powerpoint) in a Business HOA
I just spent a frustrating few hours working out that I can bring up and view a Slideshare deck on both HVC and HOA, but when I view the HOA recording on YouTube there is only a picture of my face watching the Slideshare show! 

Clearly this situation Ronnie was discussing some time ago still applies - https://plus.google.com/u/0/+RonnieBincer/posts/3cx3tfX2CQn

My question here is - Does Business Hangouts allow you to record a deck of slides (Slideshare or Powerpoint) via a HOA to a YouTube video, or will YouTube block it whatever route one goes??

Please could someone explain to me why, when I try a screenshare in an HVC or an HOA, I get that kaleidoscope...

I have a question

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?

I'm having a go following the CCHOA intro and before the 'step_by_step' HOA in an hour.

I'm having a go following the CCHOA intro and before the 'step_by_step' HOA in an hour. So I have made my YouTube live event, and pasted the url into my private Community with a nice image.

My question is - what does YouTube mean when it asks me for the 'maximum sustained bit rate of my encoder'?
