Joining Show and Tell

Anne Barela

THE ADAFRUIT SHOW-AND-TELL LIVE VIDEO!

Every Wednesday at 7:00 pm United States Eastern Time.

We (Adafruit) are extending our weekly show and tell we’ve done for about a decade to full hour starting this Wednesday, March 18th, 2020 at 7pm ET to 8pm ET.

For participating in the current week's show

How to Join

To show and share your project, view the chat in Discord https://adafru.it/discord in the #livebroadcast topic. Look for the link in the chat window to join the StreamYard chat at the start time and throughout the broadcast.

Streamyard

Here's StreamYard's suggested hardware

Setup for best results:

  • Be sure your webcam/camera and microphone is working with your computer
  • Try to be on a wired Internet connection for the best streaming speed
  • Be sure you are in an area that has good lighting to best show you and your work
  • Use of a headset and microphone is preferable over use of speakers and mic
  • You can see what others may be discussing in Discord if you have it started beforehand (see the how-to below)

When you are on

  • You will be "Backstage", a waiting place until you are called on.
  • Please mute your microphone until called on.
  • Be sure to unmute your microphone for your turn.
  • Clearly describe what you've been working on.
  • Keep your turn to around 3 minutes so everyone has a chance to share.

When you are done, disconnect so someone else may join backstage.

 

Wrapping Up

The program ends by around 7:55 pm Eastern so the Ask an Engineer show can start at 8 PM.

If there are more people that time allows, please try to join the following week.
