Talk show, presentation facilities available on the web
Updated 9/24/2017
Meaning: here is a talk show set you can come to on a Chrome browser.  You come as an avatar, talk to a few others or just talk by yourself.  You can live stream the talk to whatever size audience you have.  And for now, all this is free.

  • Click the pushpin (bottom line) and scroll down to the Web Show world.

Can we put our own graphic on the screen?

  • Yes, if you have rez powers in this world.  
  • The arrangements are yet to be made, but Cybalounge will support it.
  • The most likely arrangement is that you register and get your own world.
  • (Your own world is free so far.)
  • You then get or build your own set in your own world.
  • Instructions for building in Cybalounge. are here: 
  • Browser-viewer, progress and possibilities: Summary
  •  I may have the components to give you.
  • It is likely this set will be soon available as a template you can buy.
  • Note that there may be restrictions on what you can display as images.

Is there anyone to help me?

  • I expect to be in Cybalounge weekdays, 10 to 10:30 am California time.
  • Or leave a comment on this blog.  
  • If you need someone to read a script, I may be able to help you.
  • If you have your own place, you can present videos and web pages.  
  • That is drag and drop.  You don't need instructions. 
  • But you do need to be in your place as the registered avatar.

How do you record?

  • Most video recording software will record from a window or selected screen area.  
  • In Windows 10 you can use this method:
  • Convienient video capture in Windows 10--any window
  • Open the window you want to capture.
  • Press the Win key+g
  • If you want to capture voice, be sure to click the microphone box,
  • Don't bother with the red record dot. Let the start panel go away.
  • When you are ready to record, press Win+Alt+r.  That starts the recording.
  • To stop recording, press Win+Alt+r again.  
  • The recording will be in mp4 in a folder called Captures in your Videos folder.
    •
  • Open Broadcaster Software will not easily record from web-worlds yet.
  • The feature is disabled because it won't work for everyone.
  • Yes, because a few people could not use it, nobody can use it.
  • You may be able to record with OBS if you record full screen.

Can I bring an audience into the world?

  • Not at this time.  The browser will not allow enough memory for many avatars.
  • For the present, you could stream to a live audience.
  • I suggest you would have more effect by capturing video and putting it on YouTube.
  • Then your audience can be in any time zone and on any work schedule.  

But how could we get questions from the audience?  

  • Think of your presentation as a conversation, not a speech.
  • Your announcement starts the conversation.  
  • Ask in advance what people want to hear from you. 
  • Invite them to send questions and requests for information.  
  • You could do it in a blog post giving your outline and suggested readings.
  • Invite those interested to ask questions in the comment section of the blog.

But what about the questions after the presentation?

  • A conversation does not end after one exchange.  
  • Post the video of your presentation on your blog with the same invitation as above.
  • You can answer those questions on the blog or in another video.
  • Presentations in a virtual world are not like conventions.
  • Why a MOOC is better than a conference.
  • You don't need to shave or put on make-up.  
  • You can do it in the privacy of your own home office.

Suggested Talk Shows

Real people in virtual worlds

  • Conversations with people doing things in virtual worlds.
  • Probably not just talk, but videos selected by the guests.
  • Openly promotional, aimed at showing what we do in virtual worlds.
  • Guests would be people with virtual world activities they want to promote.  

Public service conversations

  • Conversations with public service organizations in virtual worlds.
  • They tell their public service story.  
  • They answer public service questions.
  • They talk with people who want to find out about services offered.
  • Conversations are not limited to people who can get into virtual worlds.
  • Almost anyone with a browser can get into a web-world.

Real education from the virtual worlds

  • Conversations with educators working in virtual worlds.
  • And with educators interested in working in virtual worlds.  
  • Web-worlds are open to anyone with a browser.
