CONFERENCE CHAT [Feb 16 2017, 10:14 AM] theartofed: This is a test! ;) [Feb 16 2017, 10:14 AM] theartofed: Testing today at 10:00... [Feb 16 2017, 10:15 AM] theartofed: I changed the chat platform to put new messages at the TOP instead of BOTTOM. Should be more similar to Facebook and Twitter this way. Better? [Feb 16 2017, 11:15 AM] Guest4596: Hi everyone! [Feb 16 2017, 11:15 AM] theartofed: What does everyone think of that chat? [Feb 16 2017, 11:15 AM] Guest4596: Jessica is much more clear right now. [Feb 16 2017, 11:15 AM] MsBellsArtists: I'm working on my laptop - with my text being entered at the bottom, I think I'd prefer the roll going the other way... I know you just changed it! [Feb 16 2017, 11:15 AM] theartofed: What does everyone think of the After Pass tab on the conference? [Feb 16 2017, 11:16 AM] MsBellsArtists: Easier to put my thoughts together and read at the same time - just my own preference though [Feb 16 2017, 11:16 AM] theartofed: ok, I can see that @msbells [Feb 16 2017, 11:16 AM] theartofed: Who are you btw? [Feb 16 2017, 11:16 AM] MsBellsArtists: Haha Shannon [Feb 16 2017, 11:16 AM] Guest4596: Chatting at the bottom and reading at the top seems a little funny. [Feb 16 2017, 11:16 AM] TimBogatzAOE: Eh, that's a tough question--If I'm just lurking and reading, I want new messages at the top. If I'm participating in the convo, I want them at the bottom. [Feb 16 2017, 11:17 AM] Patricia: I was thinking that too- I expected the most recent to be at the bottom [Feb 16 2017, 11:17 AM] theartofed: hahaha [Feb 16 2017, 11:17 AM] MsBellsArtists: True Tim - it can go either way I think. [Feb 16 2017, 11:17 AM] theartofed: Everyone can see Jessica looks better now with the high res setting [Feb 16 2017, 11:17 AM] MelissaPurtee: Hi everyone! [Feb 16 2017, 11:18 AM] TimBogatzAOE: Yes, high res setting is significantly better. [Feb 16 2017, 11:18 AM] TimBogatzAOE: Hey, Melissa! [Feb 16 2017, 11:18 AM] MsBellsArtists: High res is much better [Feb 16 2017, 11:18 AM] theartofed: internet failure testwent well! [Feb 16 2017, 11:18 AM] MsBellsArtists: I also like the after pass tab. Thumbs up. [Feb 16 2017, 11:18 AM] theartofed: We are going to test 'transition timing' [Feb 16 2017, 11:19 AM] theartofed: If eveyone can give feedback on the time between her talking and the video, then between the video and her talking again [Feb 16 2017, 11:19 AM] TimBogatzAOE: Derek, just in that short conversation, I want new messages in the bottom here. the back and forth from top to bottom is difficult to navigate. [Feb 16 2017, 11:19 AM] theartofed: refresh this page [Feb 16 2017, 11:19 AM] theartofed: I think the new messages will show at bottom now [Feb 16 2017, 11:19 AM] theartofed: Is the chat window size ok? [Feb 16 2017, 11:20 AM] TimBogatzAOE: Yes, they are showing at the bottom now. Chat window is okay. [Feb 16 2017, 11:21 AM] theartofed: Is Jessica having any streaming issues at all when we're using the higher res steaming? [Feb 16 2017, 11:21 AM] theartofed: do you notice any cut-outs, etc. that didn't exist when we were on low-res? [Feb 16 2017, 11:21 AM] MsBellsArtists: So we're looking for feedback between Jessica's talking and then how long it takes before the video pops up, and then vice versa? [Feb 16 2017, 11:21 AM] Guest5667: Howdy [Feb 16 2017, 11:21 AM] Guest8742: I just signed in as a guest...that work? [Feb 16 2017, 11:21 AM] theartofed: yes Shannon [Feb 16 2017, 11:21 AM] theartofed: that works, guest! [Feb 16 2017, 11:21 AM] Guest5667: Who has a question?? [Feb 16 2017, 11:21 AM] TimBogatzAOE: Video was a little slow to load after Jess introduced. She was back on immediately after it was done. [Feb 16 2017, 11:21 AM] HCrockett: That video took a little while to load on my end. I refreshed. That helped. [Feb 16 2017, 11:22 AM] HCrockett: Abby was much faster! [Feb 16 2017, 11:22 AM] MsBellsArtists: Same - a bit of a lag at the start of the video [Feb 16 2017, 11:22 AM] TimBogatzAOE: Abby's video was MUCH quicker. Less than 2 seconds. [Feb 16 2017, 11:22 AM] MsBellsArtists: Yes [Feb 16 2017, 11:23 AM] theartofed: I think the video does't load unless you're on that tab too! If you're on the chat tab, it won't load. Can someone help me verify this? [Feb 16 2017, 11:24 AM] theartofed: We may need to tell users to have them up as separate windows, instead of tabs [Feb 16 2017, 11:24 AM] MsBellsArtists: Yes - mine got a little glitchy when I was on the chat tab as opposed to the conference tab. [Feb 16 2017, 11:24 AM] MsBellsArtists: I had to reload [Feb 16 2017, 11:25 AM] theartofed: I think we're almost done here folks [Feb 16 2017, 11:26 AM] Patricia: Yea, mine has been slow throughout transitions, even Abby's [Feb 16 2017, 11:27 AM] theartofed: we simulated another internet failure [Feb 16 2017, 11:28 AM] theartofed: slack me with any additional tips/advice/ changes!! [Feb 16 2017, 11:28 AM] theartofed: (Derek) [Feb 16 2017, 11:28 AM] Patricia: Can't wait for Sat. Nice work, everyone!! [Feb 16 2017, 11:29 AM] MsBellsArtists: Same!
