It’s close, but it’s not at all ideal. First of all, it’s iOS/Android only. No Windows, no mac. You need one device (iOS/Android) connected to the room audio. We might be able to find a cheap wifi only android device with audio that would serve the purpose. You need accounts for every person in their system, and you know how we love that kind of thing.
It seems to be a bit clunky to deal with all of our “events”. But mostly, the way the presenter controls access doesn’t match what we want. I’m not sure how well it would work for a remote questioner. It’s not clear how it decides who can get into the event. But, it’s the basic idea of what we want. It may be possible to work with them to get it to work for us. Brian On Mar 11, 2014, at 11:19 AM, Russ Housley <hous...@vigilsec.com> wrote: > Crowdmics seems very interesting.
