[technology taskforce] Youtube streaming

[Jonathan Zuck]

I fully admit to being spoiled! My POINT, however, is that I WAS able to view the YouTube stream!

Jonathan,
that "so slow connection" is in fact one of the best speeds you can get in my country. Most times it is less than half of that. :(

Folks,

Until today my advocacy for Youtube streaming was based largely on research and supposition but my wife and I are currently staying in an AirBnB in Tucson with incredibly slow internet:

So slow, in fact, that I’m having difficulties maintaining Zoom calls which never happens for me. I’m blessed to live in areas in DC and LA where internet speeds are fast!  Last night we attempted to participate in a virtual ritual for  Dia de Los Muertos that took place over Zoom and we simply were unable to maintain the connection. Luckily, the event was simultaneously streamed to Youtube which we were able to watch just fine, albeit at a lower resolution than normal. I’ve heard a rumor that the meeting staff didn’t find much difference between the Zoom bandwidth consumption and the Youtube consumption but I’m here to tell you definitively, the difference can be staggering.  It’s possible that video use on the plenaries are sharply limited so as to minimize bandwidth usage but that’s NOT the direction we want our meetings to go. We want MORE video participation in our virtual meetings, not less.



I say this all to say that regardless of the reports we receive from the meetings team, we need to keep pushing for more widespread  streaming to Youtube of both ICANN meetings and our capacity building webinars.

Jonathan
