I tried watching the stream yesterday, and it was unwatchable (screen
image too pixelated). I suspect that the image being placed in a rather
small window had something to do with it.
1) Is there any way to toggle it to full screen (I'm on FF3.5)?
2) Is there any way to get a direct feed from the presenter's PC, rather
than a camera in the room? All I really need to see is the PC screen, at
full size. I don't really need to see the presenter walking around, and
I don't need to see the rest of the web page.
The audio track was fine, but, as I said, the screens were unreadable.
While I agree that the presentation slides were mostly not legible,
overall I found the stream reasonably watchable and I think it did
provide more context and connectedness than a desktop screencast would
provide.
I don't think going full screen would make it any better, there's just a
lot of compression/frame reduction/pixel reduction/magic sauce there to
get the performance needed for the live stream.
A simpler solution to a screen cast would be to simply insure that the
slides are available to download when the meeting starts. Then you get
the benefit of the live stream, and clear slides without any more
bandwidth concerns.
