Test Meeting

- The meeting was largely a technical walkthrough focused on how to set up and manage the city’s YouTube livestream broadcast. Staff discussed which account to use, how to start the live stream, and how to avoid audio echo by muting the YouTube page. - A major topic was how to display a big on-screen clock or timer during the meeting. The participants reviewed using screen sharing, choosing between stopwatch and timer functions, and making the clock visible to viewers. - They discussed practical screen-sharing options, including sharing the full screen versus only a specific application window. The conversation confirmed that sharing a single application window would keep only the desired content visible to the public. - The group also covered how to switch between open windows while broadcasting and verify that the correct content appears on screen. They noted that the green outline indicates which window is currently being shared. - There were no substantive policy decisions, votes, or council action items discussed in the transcript. The exchange appears to be preparation and troubleshooting for future meetings rather than formal council business. - One participant mentioned having prepared notes and planned to test the setup further before the next meeting. This suggests a follow-up step to ensure the livestream and timer display work smoothly in practice.
