debbie

@sqwishy I'm so sorry about your computer!!

RZ923

Umm... people are spamming questions (and they have silly names)

sqwishy

@RZ923 ...yeah...I can see that

RZ923

My head is dizzy ...

sqwishy

@debbie Yes, I totally understand! I hope you can work this out soon! ^^

@debbie said in Please change future live streams!!!!:

@sqwishy We're very sorry for the chaotic and uncontrolled chat. Thanks so much for letting us know! In the future, especially when we have a large audience, we will try to prevent this from happening again. (Of course, it's ideal to have a chat where everyone shows self-restraint. )

As for the reason we're using Zoom, it's because Zoom is integrated within our course, and we're hoping to attract more users this way.

Uh, not to be rude, but several reasons why this doesn't work:

Zoom couldn't handle the load today, as you can see, and even if you didn't glitch out, it was super hard to even type later on.
The Zoom integration within the website honestly isn't the same as the actual Zoom and a lot of stuff is missing or looks weird.
It makes it harder to get the livestream to more people, because you need to make an account and only people who have already subscribed to the newsletter and stuff see it. Prof. Loh should do it on YouTube but like make notices about daily challenge a lot and like halfway through when he's taking a sip of water or something put up a screen saying "more info at daily.poshenloh.com or something"

sqwishy

@The-Blade-Dancer Yes, that's a good idea. I think the daily.poshenloh.com link is already shown on the waiting screen though (like the countdown)

The Blade Dancer

Not everyone comes during countdown tho which is why he should put it like halfway thru. Like sports halftime ads

RZ923

This is like in <5 minutes...

sqwishy

@The-Blade-Dancer That's cool!! Maybe @debbie can suggest something and change the livestreams a little?

RZ923

Uh-oh there’s so much chat I glitched out.

divinedolphin

I counted and there were 99+ in the chat in 12 seconds.

sqwishy

@RZ923 Yep. I was getting like 200 messages in <10 secs at the start of the livestream too. But I think the moderators will get this under control and change the future live streams.

sqwishy

@RZ923 Same for me. My screen is completely frozen but I don't want to leave since I'm not sure if I'll be able to get back in. Also, I believe that it's ending soon anyways?

The Blade Dancer

I wanted to read over the explanations myself so I logged out. Also @divinedolphin was your username really just divinedolphin in the chat?

sqwishy

@The-Blade-Dancer I changed my name to "sqwishy" too

RZ923

This post is deleted!

divinedolphin

@The-Blade-Dancer Yes

debbie

@sqwishy Yes, it froze on my kids' computers as well, and even the host's computer, which is why they switched me to be the host at the end. The chat really causes a huge lag. I don't really meddle in with the marketing and advertising, but I'll try to convey your feedback to the marketing team, so that we can hopefully improve future livestreams!

sqwishy

@debbie That's great to hear!! We all enjoyed Prof. Loh's lecture nonetheless!!
