Figure out how to record the arch call #1

Open ralphbean opened 2 months ago

ralphbean commented 2 months ago

We want to figure out how to record the weekly arch call. When I look at the google meet requirements it looks like we need a subscription in order to record.

We don't have a subscription. Any suggestions on a way forward?

Some foss options are jitsi and "big blue button". A friend reported that BBB's recording works, even if the interface is a little clunky.

I don't think I can take this forwards alone. If you have opinions on which new video option to try and some time to volunteer to help set it up, please speak up here or reach out to me and let's see if we can make some progress.

@ralphbean , before we could record all sessions . what changed ? aren't we enterprise accounts anymore ? what I saw that we can use 3rd party Chrome extensions I'll make some learning on those then share my insights

ralphbean commented 1 month ago

@kasemAlem our old internal Red Hat architecture call was on our RH google account. When we shifted to open up the call, we thought it best to not host it on Red Hat's account, in an effort to reduce barriers for new people to join. We're not (currently) hosting the meeting on Red Hat's account.

I 'found that a free extension Screen Recorder is free of charge, but it's not allowed by administrator, is this something we can ask admins enable ? also it's local,

other tool is loom extension , I've tried it for recording a minute looks good my concern is that it upload the videos on their website via workspace that each user should be signed in and joined a workspace

kasemAlem commented 1 month ago

third one that I think it can be a good candidate which is also chrome extension and it saves the recording locally screen.io , also it's free

I was also trying suggested tools and some extensions. However, I came to the conclusion that recordings will be saved locally because no one will provide free cloud space for storing them. There was an option to make the Google Meet live stream on YouTube and store the video/livestream on YouTube, but that will also require a subscription. I did not find any better option that is free and does not require manual adjustments, like recording locally and posting on some platforms.

We can ask maybe Burr Sutter, he must have done something similar. I guess live streaming from a YouTube channel named Konflux can be an option.

I think this would work:

Create a YouTube channel with a name other than you from your Google(Red Hat) account: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1646861?hl=en#:~:text=Create%20a%20channel%20with%20a%20business%20or%20other%20name

Create a shared Google Calendar and Google Group from your personal Google account.

Create a calendar invite from your Red Hat account and invite both the Google Group and the calendar id from the shared Google Calendar. Make sure that the meeting access type is set to Open by clicking the gear in the Google Meet section of the invite.

Record the meeting.

When the recording is available upload it to YouTube.

We are able to record our Community Meetings. Here's what we do:

  1. We created a gmail account for our project
  2. Using that email we created a recurring calendar event for our meeting.
  3. We invited the internal mailing address for our group.
  4. In that calendar's settings, under "Access permissions for events" we selected "Make available to public" as we wanted to publish the calendar (so that we could embed it on our website)
  5. In that calendar's settings, under "Share with specific people or groups", we added our internal group email address, giving it the "Make changes and manage sharing" role.

With these settings, I (and others in my team), can join via the event link for our internal group email address and record the meeting. This recording gets stored in the internal google drive of whoever has pressed "record". We then sync this to the google drive for the public gmail (created in step 1) and link it back to the github issue that contains the agenda for each meeting.

Perhaps this might work for you folks as well.

A thought from the community call today: perhaps use of Red Hat's enterprise google account is not as much of a turn off as we worried that it would be. I've joined a few other community's meetings over the last week - one was sponsored by github and they used github's corporate zoom account. It was fine - and seemed practical.

Now that we've struggled with this for a little over a month - is there any strong objection out there to using Red Hat's corporate google account for our meeting?

I would expect that if a SIG or any other meeting in our community would be perfectly fine to use the hosting details of whoever is running the meeting, whether they work at RH or another company.
