I am looking to host a virtual event inside of discourse. I will be using Restream to embed the live stream into Discourse topics. My question is: How can I display the video in a better UI? What themes/components or plugins would you guys recommend for this. Here is an example of how I’d…

Did you end up hosting the event in your Community? How did it go? Any lessons learned to share or aha moments?

@Samantha_O if you don’t get a response back, I’m hosting events in my Discourse community just like this (sans that example). My first event is in about two weeks, but you can checkout how I have it setup here: [图片] Dev Live Stream - September Commu…

No I did not, because we are expecting a large audience (10k) and our Discourse Hosting would need to scale our servers. Everything else is doable, the only problem is that hosting is like $5k+ even then there are uncertainties. I think it’s great for smaller events. Just use something like Stream…

I’ll set a reminder to ask how it goes after. I also signed up so if I remember I can try to see what it is like from a participant’s view as well. :slight_smile:

The one thing I noticed: when links were shared via StreamYard (like regular video chat), it could be an area of o…

I was just thinking about responding to you today! Yeah we had quite a few first-timer mistakes, but overall we were actually surprised at how well it went. We just engaged Discourse for some theme improvements for topics in the events category that will make it feel much more like a live stream ev…

All in all, sounds like a very productive and successful pilot/test! Congrats :tada: I’m intrigued by what theme improvements you are working with Discourse on to make it feel more like a live stream event page. Are these just visuals - i.e. bigger display area for the video, or are you looking at…

The biggest thing, yes, is a reconfiguration of the UI for a topic to be more like a live stream. Think Twitch: bigger stream window, chat bigger and more visible on the side. We also want to improve the registration and attendance process as well, though.

How many attendees did you have? any server issues?
