Testimony Meetings with Remote Testomonies

[rklindquist]

After live-streaming testimony meeting today, I felt there may be some at home who may have wanted to share their testimonies.

We currently use the Movi camera with an RTMP stream to the Church webcast platform. It has worked very well but is intentionally one-way and non-interactive.

I believe Zoom can do RTMP. I also have heard of some wards and stakes using the Zoom webinar feature to allow for remote speakers or testimony participation. (See viewtopic.php?t=37536)

What have been the experiences for those who are or who have thought of doing a Zoom webinar or other option for remote testimonies/speakers while keeping the simple setup of the Church webcast system?

During our second hour classes, I connect a TV to the computer running interactive online meeting. That allows those at home to communicate directly with the teacher.

In actual practice, I can't get anyone at home to turn on their camera and microphone. When they want to say something, they type it into the chat window of the meeting.
