September 28, 20214 yr Author We're up to 42 subscriptions and 51.7 watched hours now, only 958 subscriptions and 3,948.3 more hours (within a 12 month period) to go and we can monetize! lol Ok, so that's not likely to happen, but at least this will serve as a gameday chat for those that want it.

October 5, 20214 yr If you make an 8-10 hour long video that has dim lighting and beach wave sounds (or electric fan) I'll keep it on every night while I'm sleeping. I do this anyway with other channels.

I do this anyway with other channels. I can do that lol. I use a white noise box to mask my tinnitus (a souvenir from my days in the Army, caused by too much M16 fire without hearing protection). Send me a link to the sounds that you want and I'll make it.
October 10, 20214 yr Author The live chat will go live at 12:45 (Eastern), so about 25 or so minutes from now.
October 14, 20213 yr Author Tonight's chat is now live for anyone that wants to live chat during the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iulqq9VFnzE
October 30, 20213 yr Author The Live Chat is ready to go (almost, it's uploaded but processing at the moment): https://youtu.be/7TXnVTDuHpM
November 7, 20213 yr Author In case anyone wants to live chat, I'll post these each week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmuHCxG3hXU
February 15, 20232 yr Author Now that we have 6 or 7 months before the 2023 season begins, I'm looking into this possibility again. If I can get the videos with the live chat embedded into the Game Day Thread, is it something that you all would use or would me taking the time to try to make it work just be time wasted and of no benefit to the board? Having this on a YouTube video would help build the channel toward a new revenue stream for the board, in that we could monetize the channel and earn a little from that. But it's going to take some effort to try to get it to fully embed here in a thread. If enough people think they'd use it, I'll put in the time and effort. If I can get it working in time, we can try it out for the draft. Who here has a YouTube account? Are you subscribed to our channel? If not, why not?! lol Also, I'm willing to put member submitted videos on the channel, as long as there's no copyright issues and the board is granted full ownership of the content to use on the channel.
February 15, 20232 yr So this would be different than just having a chat like the old board used to have?

Live chat on a YouTube video would be where there's a video (either pre-recorded or a live stream), but to the side of the video, there's a chat forum. I'll find one to give an example... Shango does it with his videos. If I can get those elements (video and chat), embedded here on the EMB each week, then we could do live chat right in the Gameday thread but it would be actually on the YouTube video.

I'm not sure if non account holders can chat or not but once I start working on trying to get it to embed here, I'll be using test videos and you can try to do it on those test videos. It would be great if people have YouTube accounts though, because one of the requirements to monetize, is that we need around 1,000 subscribers. If anyone doesn't want their personal accounts to be used, a new YT account for live chats could always be created.
February 16, 20232 yr Author This is a test of the live chat feature from a live stream (scroll down for the chat if you get here while it's still going):
February 16, 20232 yr Author Once a live event has ended, the live chat is no longer enabled. So the video that I had used above, is now over and the chat isn't displaying. But I did take a screen shot. Spoiler Please let me know if this is something that would be used for games, the draft or other types of events. If it is, then we need to start building our YouTube channel subscriber base now, so that when the time comes, we can take advantage of this feature.

But it can now be embedded into Gameday Threads. Good idea. Im not sure if I will use it honestly. Im used to game day posting in the blog now. But I know a lot of people liked the chat format in the past so hopefully itll get use. Nice job! I certainly dont mind opening it in a separate window if itll help our watch time on youtube to get monetized.
April 28, 20232 yr Author This is a further test of live chat from YouTube, we'll see if this works. It's a press conference
July 28, 20232 yr Author Pre-season is 2 weeks away, should I do the live chat each week for games? Let me know if you think you'll use it or if you won't.
