===How to record meetings===
 +
: We are now practicing the way of recording meetings which includes using a virtual machine for recording so as not to overload your computer. Your steps are as follows:
 +
 +
====One-time operations:====
 +
#'''Ask''' Natalia (sysadmin) to give you the remote computer name, user name, and password;
 +
#'''Enter''' the remote desktop by using the Remote Desktop Connection function on Windows (search -> Remote Desktop Connection);
 +
#'''Type''' the name of the PC you want to connect to, select Show Options and type your user name, then select Connect. Enter your password and congratulations, you are on the remote desktop.
 +
#'''Upload''' [[OBS Studio]]:
 +
##''open'' the browser and visit the OBS Studio homepage;
 +
##''select'' the OBS Software instance that Windows supports from the home page and the download will begin automatically;
 +
##''open'' the downloaded file once it has been completed and installed;
 +
##''select'' the option For screen recording when installing;
 +
#'''When''' you install the program, there will be many settings that you can adjust, but 1 setting is mandatory for correct recording:
 +
##''open'' OBS Studio -> File -> Settings -> Advanced -> Process Priority -> High.
 +
#'''Using [[Vokoscreen]] on Ubuntu virtual machine'''
 +
##''Follow'' the above procedure to get Ubuntu remote computer.
 +
##''Launch'' [[Vokoscreen]] from the Ubuntu application launcher, or directly access it from the applications listing.
 +
##''Record'' settings will appear when you launch the tool; select the preferred screen and audio recording settings: a) Fullscreen; b) A specific window; c) an Area on the screen. Other options you can customize include: Turning on the ''Showkey'' option will display the key you typed during a recording; turning on the ''Showclick'' option will highlight the area you clicked on during a recording. The ''countdown'' gives you some time (in seconds) to get ready before the recording starts.
 +
##''Start'' the recording by clicking the start button once you are ready to record your event.
 +
##''Stop'' by clicking the stop button.
 +
##''Access'' the recording from the video folder if left unchanged.
 +
 +
====Live-event operations:====
 +
#'''Open''' the remote desktop 10-15 minutes before the meeting;
 +
#'''Open''' the browser and open CNM Jitsi;
 +
#'''Create''' a meeting as moderator (you should log in for it);
 +
#'''Start''' recording in CNM Jitsi:
 +
##''press'' the three-dot button;
 +
##''press'' the "Start recording" button;
 +
##''choose'' the part of the screen;
 +
#'''Start''' recording in OBS Studio:
 +
##''open'' OBS Studio on your computer and click the plus sign in the "Sources" section;
 +
##''select'' "Window Capture";
 +
##''click'' "Create New", and name the window you are about to capture;
 +
##''press'' the "Ok" button, a "Properties Window" will appear, press "Ok" once again on the properties window;
 +
##''press'' the "Start Recording" button in the Controls section, and minimize OBS Studio window to proceed with the meeting;
 +
#'''Copy''' the meeting link and minimize the remote desktop. Now you can attend the meeting from your desktop without worrying about recordings or unstable connections on your home computer;
 +
#'''If''' you have problems with video quality after recording with OBS Studio, here is the lifehack:
 +
##''before'' you start recording, open Task Manager -> Details;
 +
##''find'' OBS and right-click -> Set priority -> Real-time;
 +
##''after'' the end of the recording, be sure to return the priority to medium;
 +
#To '''finish''' recording, maximize remote desktop;
 +
#'''Open''' CNM Jitsi and press the "close access" button, wait until the file is saved and just after that you can close the meeting in CNM Jitsi;
 +
#'''Click''' the OBS Studio icon on the computer taskbar to maximize the OBS Studio window, press the "Stop Recording" button in the Controls section, the recording is automatically saved on your computer.
 +
 +
==How to Stream==
 +
:Soon we will have several ways of streaming, but for now, here is a description of streaming for the Jitsi + YouTube tandem:
 +
#''you should be'' the Youtube channel editor;
 +
#''click'' Create on the right side of the top panel and ''choose'' Go Live. If you do it the first time, Youtube will ask you to wait 24 hours before you can start streaming;
 +
#then you ''get'' to YouTube Live Control Room and should ''choose'' when you want to go live: Right now and Later date. Let's start right now;
 +
#''choose'' Streaming software and press Go and after press "No, it's not made for kids";
 +
#''you can see'' the stream setting here: press Edit to choose the title, description, visibility, category, and other settings you need for the stream. After you've set everything up press Save;
 +
#on this page you should see the stream key and copy it;
 +
#''open'' Jitsi and start the meeting as moderator;
 +
#''press'' the three-dot button;
 +
#''press'' the Start live stream;
 +
#''choose'' the name of live stream and ''paste'' the stream key from Youtube and ''press'' Start live stream;
 +
#''end'' the live stream on Youtube by using End Stream button at the top right and end the meeting on CNM Jitsi;
 +
#after that you ''can'' ''edit'' the video of the meeting in Youtube Studio, so you don't need any additional software to record the conference
 +
#you ''can'' also schedule streams on the stream setting page in the left sidebar.

Latest revision as of 18:00, 5 June 2024

A CNMCyber event (hereinafter, the Event) is any event that matches two conditions: (a) the CNMCyber Team has designed to attract more CNMCyber patrons and (b) CNMCyber Customer has approved. Normally, the Events are organized by one or more CNM Event Organizers. Because of their outreach nature, all the Events are open to the general public free-of-charge. The CNMCyber Meetup group and WorldOpp fb-page serve as primary Outreach channels (hereinafter, the Channels).

  • Outreach events, which are the Events organized to promote the Cyber, the Cloud, CNMCyber Team, technologies, needs, and services to outreach to current and potential clients and participants. Specifically to the Coords, the outreach products include CNMCyber This Week events, which are weekly meetings of the Coords who present (a) what they accomplished last week, (b) what they plan to do next week, and (c) what assistance do they need. The outreach events are normally published on the CNMCyber Meetup group.
Moreover, meetings tend to address a number of purposes. For instance, meetings of the CNM Technology Board may touch both product and project features and decisions. When they are open to the general public, they also serve the outreach purpose.
Within the Project results, the outreach events represent project outputs. The other meetings should be considered as project scrap; those meetings are used to develop Documents.


Range of purposes

Any open-to-the-public Event shall contain a pitch to attract promising WorldOpp candidates, Careerprise contractors, Educaship partners, and/or customers.

Operations

Pre-event operations

The primary platform to conduct pre-event operations is the designated Channel. Prior to the Event:
  1. Create the event on a Meetup group https://www.meetup.com/techdc/ at least one week in advance (you also should get the group administrator rights). Later, you can copy meetings and change small details and the date. The event should contain the following information:
    1. title (required);
    2. date and time: Time details;
    3. duration: Length;
    4. featured photo: it can be CNMCyber logo and other logos as well as photos from previous events (if they were offline);

    6. topics: you can pick up to 5 topics. Topics describe what your Meetup event is about in a word or two. They also help show our event to members with matching interests. Select a relevant, but wide range of topics that describe our event. For example: Career Networks, Job Search, Reporting, Recruiting & Hiring, Project Management;
    7. location: the physical location shall have been booked or online room has been created; it is preferable to create a room in Educaship Jitsi. There may be problems with Educaship Jitsi, so you should have more than 1 alternative video conferencing platform, preferably one internal and one external such as Zoom or Google meet;
    8. allow guests: the number is to be decided, but it's allowed.

  4. The information about the event should add to the CNMCyber.com group;
  5. Recording tool shall have been identified and prepared. You can use this function in Educaship Jitsi, Zoom, or Google meet and have at least 2 alternative programs to record just in case such as Xbox Game Bar or OBS Studio, and you should use 2 programs in parallel, for example, recording in CNM Jitsi + OBS Studio (more details: issues). Detailed recording instructions are described below.
  6. The page of this meeting on wiki should be created. It includes a short description of the meeting subject and as well as links to predecessor and successor events, and to Category of this series;
The Host is also responsible for cancelling of the Event if no participant RSVPs.

Live-event operations

The primary platform to conduct event operations is the booked location for onsite Events and Educaship Jitsi for online Events. During the Event, the Host shall:
  1. "Meet" and greet the participants;
  2. Facilitate the Event;
  3. Make sure that participants audio, video messages, and chat messages are identified and responded;
  4. Make sure that the Event is recorded.

Post-event operations

The primary platform to conduct post-event operations is CNM Wiki. After the Event,
  1. The recording of the Event shall be posted at https://www.youtube.com/@cnmcyber or https://www.youtube.com/@worldopp6393 YouTube channel and Educaship AVideo;
  2. The wikipage shall be composed to include all available data of and about the Event including its minutes and link to its audio- and videorecords, as well as organizing lessons learned;
  3. A follow-up message shall be sent to those Event's participants who RSVPed for the Event.

How to record meetings

We are now practicing the way of recording meetings which includes using a virtual machine for recording so as not to overload your computer. Your steps are as follows:

One-time operations:

  1. Ask Natalia (sysadmin) to give you the remote computer name, user name, and password;
  2. Enter the remote desktop by using the Remote Desktop Connection function on Windows (search -> Remote Desktop Connection);
  3. Type the name of the PC you want to connect to, select Show Options and type your user name, then select Connect. Enter your password and congratulations, you are on the remote desktop.
  4. Upload OBS Studio:
    1. open the browser and visit the OBS Studio homepage;
    2. select the OBS Software instance that Windows supports from the home page and the download will begin automatically;
    3. open the downloaded file once it has been completed and installed;
    4. select the option For screen recording when installing;
  5. When you install the program, there will be many settings that you can adjust, but 1 setting is mandatory for correct recording:
    1. open OBS Studio -> File -> Settings -> Advanced -> Process Priority -> High.
  6. Using Vokoscreen on Ubuntu virtual machine
    1. Follow the above procedure to get Ubuntu remote computer.
    2. Launch Vokoscreen from the Ubuntu application launcher, or directly access it from the applications listing.
    3. Record settings will appear when you launch the tool; select the preferred screen and audio recording settings: a) Fullscreen; b) A specific window; c) an Area on the screen. Other options you can customize include: Turning on the Showkey option will display the key you typed during a recording; turning on the Showclick option will highlight the area you clicked on during a recording. The countdown gives you some time (in seconds) to get ready before the recording starts.
    4. Start the recording by clicking the start button once you are ready to record your event.
    5. Stop by clicking the stop button.
    6. Access the recording from the video folder if left unchanged.

Live-event operations:

  1. Open the remote desktop 10-15 minutes before the meeting;
  2. Open the browser and open CNM Jitsi;
  3. Create a meeting as moderator (you should log in for it);
  4. Start recording in CNM Jitsi:
    1. press the three-dot button;
    2. press the "Start recording" button;
    3. choose the part of the screen;
  5. Start recording in OBS Studio:
    1. open OBS Studio on your computer and click the plus sign in the "Sources" section;
    2. select "Window Capture";
    3. click "Create New", and name the window you are about to capture;
    4. press the "Ok" button, a "Properties Window" will appear, press "Ok" once again on the properties window;
    5. press the "Start Recording" button in the Controls section, and minimize OBS Studio window to proceed with the meeting;
  6. Copy the meeting link and minimize the remote desktop. Now you can attend the meeting from your desktop without worrying about recordings or unstable connections on your home computer;
  7. If you have problems with video quality after recording with OBS Studio, here is the lifehack:
    1. before you start recording, open Task Manager -> Details;
    2. find OBS and right-click -> Set priority -> Real-time;
    3. after the end of the recording, be sure to return the priority to medium;
  8. To finish recording, maximize remote desktop;
  9. Open CNM Jitsi and press the "close access" button, wait until the file is saved and just after that you can close the meeting in CNM Jitsi;
  10. Click the OBS Studio icon on the computer taskbar to maximize the OBS Studio window, press the "Stop Recording" button in the Controls section, the recording is automatically saved on your computer.

  11. end the live stream on Youtube by using End Stream button at the top right and end the meeting on CNM Jitsi;
  12. after that you can edit the video of the meeting in Youtube Studio, so you don't need any additional software to record the conference
  13. you can also schedule streams on the stream setting page in the left sidebar.
