Hi all, here is the video we made at our last playdate Oct 22.

Hi all, here is the video we made at our last playdate Oct 22. I was able to make the stream happen though a YouTube watch page, but to do that I had to use XSplit encoder (OBS was not working with YouTube watch pages). I found that OBS at least sustained the stream whereas XSplit started fine from the watch page but was frequently dropping us out of Minecraft, which might have resulted in audio not syncing with video in this video. I haven't quite found the ideal encoder yet, still testing.

Incidentally I can't make a playdate this Saturday, son visiting from Doha with his wife. The plan was to meet at 1300 on Oct 29. I will try to make the next playdate. Let us know when it will be.

Hi people!

Hi people! I am iniviting our mods for EVO 2017 to join the EVO MOderator's comunity for a regular EVO training before we start the session. Please accept.

Hi everyone, thanks to Rose Bard and Linda Gielen, who help me get around and stay alive each week, and Mircea Patrascu who makes the quests (modeling how a master can manage class activities in #Minecraft ) I'm getting better at the game, or more correctly, the toy, as Jeff Kuhn points out. But this evening I punched through my latest personal learning goal. I managed to figure out how to stream our #evomc17  events live, capturing virtual play along with voice.

Our next playdate will be livestreamed. I'll set the event in YouTube/Live, and invite you join us in world or just follow what we're up to in real time.

When watching YouTube videos, be sure and use the settings gear to play back in highest resolution. The default setting may be grainy.
