BTW, I used the audio from the MOV video files, not the higher quality recorded WAV

[@flymypg]

Audio was fine.

[@donaloflynn]

Was there a recorded WAV at all? The files we saw you download were MOV and MP3.

[@lyfeofajavadevwithfrank9813]

I would love a video component on the Amp Hour

[@FranLab]

This looks promising...

[@ranzee]

What is the audio quality? So this might be a great solution for us Musicians who like to demonstrate gear/sounds over a Video Podcast - style - and then we can bring the high quality audio back in.

[@EEVblog]

44K 16bit WAV uncompresssed

[@BoB4jjjjs]

Appears to work, but how will it cope with more users, say six? Anyway, take your mouse pointer off the screen, I keep going to move mine and find it is yours, just a minor thing, but annoying.

[@Ratchet_effect]

Wow! Chris's eyes look like something out of a Sci-fi AI movie 😲

[@EEVblog]

I can neither confirm or deny the reptilian rumors.

[@Ratchet_effect]

I bet he's good at Craps gambling Dave, Snake eyes every time 😂

[@WacKEDmaN]

not bad...bit better than zoom i think...

[@TheDefpom]

@EEVblog2 the link still works too.... nice interface, looked dead easy ! had me on screen and could chat too..

[@AndrewSkow1]

UI would probably fit if you F11 to full-screen the browser.

[@BoB4jjjjs]

Dave, do you know what you are doing? It looked as if you did until the end LOL

[@artursmihelsons415]

I agree about Zoom.. My daughter have Zoom classes with multiple people and teacher.. In 45 minutes in bad quality, zoom losses connection about 6 times.. 😂 And sound was awful with interrupts.. If main picture was ok, sound straggling.. But internet connection, in my side, is able to stream 4K video without an issue.. 🤔😕 Great test, Dave! Discovered something new.. 👍

[@imark7777777]

Well you might be able to stream 4K but can the teacher? we really don't have a really well developed Internet infrastructure, you could almost say we need an Internet utility? On top of that they're probably on Wi-Fi at the other end of the house too.

[@rombrana6311]

When you change screen view .... you put "now editing in side by side 720p streams (minute 9:00) .... so that dual view IS NOT AVAILABLE IN ZENCASTR ???

[@avejst]

Wow, new options.

[@imark7777777]

Interesting service I will be checking it out, it kind of has a similar feel to crowdcast but more from the audio podcast aspect. Definitely like the here's a link you don't have to install anything. it used to be you just had to have AOL, Skype or iChat in the apple ecosystem. Now that we have off island everybody is essentially being required to have installed zoom, go to meeting, Cisco WebEx, Skype, compatible FaceTime device, Google chat whatever it's called now, etc.... At least in the good old days it didn't matter where you were all the phones were interconnected connected the long distance was different but interconnected.

[@AdamsLab]

Chirs' audio was out of sync.

[@JulianPicht]

Chris really looks different than I remember. If it wasn't for the voice, I'd call bs.

[@JulianPicht]

Thinking about it: the last I've seen him was when he first got his mill 8 years ago.

[@ChrisGammell]

@@JulianPicht Lost about 50 lbs since those days, so that's probably why

[@AleatoricSatan]

gonna be a dead webapp in a year

[@simonbernasconi6135]

I used this with 3 people and the quality was terrible. We all have good connections but the latency was a big problem. Hopefully they fix this.

[@RemcoStoutjesdijk]

Visually looks sharper than Streamyard

[@EEVblog]

The stream part or the recorded 720p part?

[@RemcoStoutjesdijk]

@@EEVblog the recorded part. Of course you both have good cams but I prefer a 720p at reasonable bitrate over 1080 from a compressed crappy webcam all day long. I think zencaster have a winner on their hand, this would be great for news networks and the like.

[@EEVblog]

@@RemcoStoutjesdijk In this case I was using my (comparitively) crappy C920 webcam, as it would not switch to my HDMI capture.

[@AutistCat]

Chris Gammell looks like a baby Dave 🥺

[@ArferNower]

Why the big mic, does it really make that much difference?

[@imark7777777]

Doesn't really depend on the size of the Mic their other more important factors kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4XOmISkg6Zlhqc

[@flymypg]

Chris who? ;^)

[@dynorat12]

by the way i can see your mouse move lol great video

[@EEVblog]

That's becasue I was screen capturing my whole monitor.

[@dynorat12]

@@EEVblog that's what I thought just wanted to make sure that's what was going on. Great test.
