Hello,

It might be of interest to people on this list so I thought I would share. This weekend I will live stream a few sessions from the Wikimedia Diversity Conference[1]. I will use Open Broadcaster Software Studio (or OBS for short)[2], which appaerently is what all the streaming kids use today. I will stream to YouTube and later upload the file to Commons. It is really easy to save a local file while you stream, so I don't need do download it from YouTube before uploading it to Commons. I will also try a live captioning tool called Web Captioner [3]. Unfortunately that will render the subtitles into the video, even though they are also downloadable in .srt, but I guess one cannot get everything (yet).

To a related question, do anyone know decent categories on Commons to put lower thirds and other graphics in? And is there any good place onwiki to document how to use them?
