 ravidwivedi | Can anyone suggest a free software which has above requirements? | 13:36:28 |
| ravidwivedi | * Can anyone suggest a free software which has above requirements? | 13:40:05 |
| ravidwivedi | * I requested a webinar organizer to move to Free Software for video conferencing. He replied to me "The primary requirement for me are the following: meeting capacity of at least 150, meeting length of at least 120 minutes, option for host/co-host to mute participants (without them being able to unmute), stop any participant's video, allow only co-hosts to share screen, no annotation facility, private chat (if public option to make chat private), recording which can be stored locally and streaming option (we are doing on Facebook, but if YouTube is available it is better). If you know of any free/open-source software which has ALL of these functionalities please let me know and I promise to use that in the coming events after testing it out." | 13:58:19 |
 Akshay S Dinesh | I think there's some phrase which stands for setting up a selection criteria to enable favoritism while sounding fair | 14:22:31 |
| ravidwivedi | I did not understand | 14:25:40 |

I did not understand He is saying organizer has a favourite set already and is basing the criteria around its features instead of evaluating other options on additional merits they bring such as privacy or freedom. | 15:16:55 |
| ravidwivedi | Ohh | 15:17:14 |
| Akhil | Also Big blue button is the closest. | 15:17:19 |
| Akhil | Out of the box | 15:17:27 |
| ravidwivedi | I see that the problem with Big Blue Button is the meeting time is at most 60 minutes. | 15:17:52 |
| ravidwivedi | Is it true that the meeting time is 60 minutes? | 15:18:04 |
| Akhil | You host it and you set time | 15:18:14 |
| Akhil | The demo option at bbb org is for 60 mins. | 15:18:37 |
| ravidwivedi | So the organizer can set the time, you mean? | 15:19:09 |
| Akhil | There is gnome hosted bbb instance with 100 user limit available for free software events. | 15:19:13 |
| Akhil | In reply to @ravidwivedi:matrix.org
So the organizer can set the time, you mean? The bbb service runner can limit the time is what I meant. | 15:19:59 |
| ravidwivedi | What criteria does Big Blue Button miss? | 15:20:54 |
| Akhil | Annotation possible | 15:21:29 |
| Akhil | And members will unmute themselves | 15:22:11 |
| Akhil | If you set it up yourself, I think you may be able to override this. Not sure. | 15:23:25 |
| ravidwivedi | Thanks | 15:24:55 |
| Akhil | There is an option for audio only link to join too. It may satisfy the mute req. | 15:25:33 |
| ravidwivedi | Can the meeting length of at least 120 minutes be achieved by using Big Blue Button in already existing versions? | 15:38:31 |
| ravidwivedi | You can stream on YouTube Live using BigBlueButton? | 15:47:14 |

Can the meeting length of at least 120 minutes be achieved by using Big Blue Button in already existing versions? Yes it's possible if you run the service or service runner enables that for you. | 15:58:24 |

You can stream on YouTube Live using BigBlueButton? Recording possible. There is some other service you can run for generating a rtmp stream. | 15:59:13 |
| Akhil | Search for Bigbluebutton livestreaming. | 16:00:08 |
