In the past few years, online interactive and digital media have been gaining a lot of ground and the technologies required to realize these works have become more powerful and more accessible. This was hastened by the challenges presented by COVID to the performing arts community.

In particular we will cover: - Basics of single camera and multi camera set up and preparation for live streaming - Basics of lighting for professional looking online streaming. - A survey of tools and platforms for online streaming with focus on OBS, BlackMagic platforms, Restream and streaming to Vimeo, Zoom and Youtube. - A discussion of the technical specifications of online video including Frame Rates, Audio Sample Rates, Compression formats and Data Rates. - A brief survey of integrating other tools such as Multi-platform chat servers and closed captioning services. - Finally, I will walk you through the steps necessary setup and run your stream successfully. I look forward to seeing you there.
