Stoldal

• helped converted meat space to digital space
• helped with operations / what works for digital

Debra's recap:

• Office (Debrea/Evelyn/Dac/Matt S) meeting to help shape the digital event
• west was single stream, discord was secondary venue
• indie arcade proposed making a 2nd channel now lovingly called MIGS to include all indies, makerspace, and maybe swadges
• West was hard to staff
• Office wants to support the 2nd MIGS stream (it's been mainly greenlit)
• the office will want to help with tech infrastructure and the staffing infrastructure
• the office will want a say in how the streaming schedule is formed
• social media / promotion are centralized
• the office is building plans as we go for the streaming plan
• the office is looking to provide quality/brand consistency and expectation of quality content
• office cares about consistency of staffing/talent/fun

Tronster:

• practice runs/streams to help align with magfest vision
• practice the handoff from one dept to another

Stoldal:

• 2.5 months to make this happen
• a lot comes down to what the dept is comfortable doing

Debra:

• doesn't have a good idea of the streaming org chart
• west has some expertise now that may help to train up our people
• want to find a balance of giving MIGS enough support
• its hard to do tech piece and the content piece at the same time

Nate M:

• support depends on the length/duration of the stream

Debra:

• main stream: THR NIGHT MAIN STREAM ONLY (Few hours) FRI/SAT/SUN - 12 hours on, 12 hours rebroadcasting
• side streams: 12 hours is a good reach, happy if we do less
• may fill with pancakes/3d printing for filler

Stoldal:

• they found benefit in rebroadcasting
• mag tech could arrange this as being pre-programmed

Debra:

• its important as people doing the work are also having fun
• office is here to provide guidence and some support
• want to allow MIGS to switch stream sources
• may have a broadcast engineer to run it

Stoldal:

• for west, people remoted into NC stream host to run it
• are we having all remote
• discord for stream capture is an option
• differeing levels of tech options
• the office is open to training sessions (e.g. 2hr brain dump)
• stream priority: content, audio, video, graphics

Matt L and Nate M:

• the office can help us best stream games?
• both are frustrated with discord capture quality

Stodal:

• open to starting to talk to MIGS about tech streaming options

Tronster:

• how do we show new games
• how much can be precanned
• will each dept have a unique look and feel or does it make sense to keep consistent look and feel
• how does each dept present games

Stoldal:

• can give tech requirements
• graphics / overlays will be available via a master package
• each dept may further customize this master package overlay etc
• host needs to hype what is coming up next

Debra:

• come up with a consistent overlay/graphics package for the MIGS stream

Nate M:

• cohesive look and feel for the overlay/graphics

Debra:

• we should let people submitting to the show that they should know the layout

Stoldal:

• need to know what the safe areas of the screen are so not covered in overlay
