Following... I'm working with Playscripts for our fall show, and planning to zoom... BUT at some undetermined point this fall my school will lose zoom access. Google Meets (and the rest of GSuite) is getting a big upgrade in October, and in theory will be more similar to zoom.
I've gotten the required Playscripts streaming package, but I haven't used anything like that before... I'm hoping it comes with some clear instructions!

I have an identical issue. I tried looking at the options for stay at home theatre at Playscripts, but I can't get a solid answer about how to stream the show out if I can't use Zoom.
Google Meets doesn't have the same options as Zoom so I'm not sure what the best choice is from there.
also. Should it be live streamed? Or should we take the time to edit and make a more polished "movie" of the play?

Hello Everyone,
We are planning a live stream production for early November and I'm wondering what other online video platforms are out there. We use google meets for normal class room stuff but one can't arrange the tiles to fit the needs of a scene. Our district does not like Zoom for security reasons. Is there another out there that could work?
Thanks,
John
