For those of you that are not able to make the rally it is hopeful that we will have a live (and on demand) video stream from the rally using the Twitter app Periscope.

This free app allows users to "follow" someone and receive notifications when they start a video broadcast. The viewer can interact with the broadcast by using text messages as well as sending "hearts" for things that they like.

If anyone would like to have the chance to test the app on their device it would good to do it well ahead of the rally so there is time to work out any problems.

Setup is actually very easy. You can download the Periscope by Twitter app on the app store or the Android market place, sign up for an account if you don't already have a Twitter account and follow @RedwoodRVOwners.

The easiest thing to do is search for @RedwoodRVOwners and you should be able to then follow us.

Feel free to post questions here if you have any issues with the setup. Also send me a PM once you are set up so we can schedule a session for you to test it.

It will be great to be able to share the rally with more people than just those that can physically attend so I hope this works out for us as I think it can.

Does that mean they can then broadcast the video of people who forgot to stay behind the camera

😆

I'm all signed up!!

Periscope here at the Rally is all setup and tested. Make sure to download the Periscope app for IOS or Android and follow @RedwoodRVOwners to watch the live stream starting at 3pm EST today!

I downloaded periscope but could not find you. Does it record it or is it only showing when you are live

found you but nothing on

Shane,

Sorry but the 2 presenters today asked that their session not be broadcast or recorded.

There is a 6:30 meet and greet that I can try there to make sure it works.

Tomorrow should be better because I know the Redwood session is ok with the broadcast and I am as well.

Ken
Ecellent job of recording on your walk around the park and the meet and greet.
Thank you for doing this

Ken the Periscope presentations have been WONDERFUL! This worked far better than I had even hoped for. We truly feel like we were attending! It's AWESOME! Thank you SO much. It was so easy to use, it's very cool! :cheer:

I'm so confused, I have an IPad, do I have to have a Twitter account and download Periscope? I have periscope, but there is no search function, what am I missing? Thanks.
Hope everyone at the rally is having a good time.
Bob

Found the videos, but no sound.....

Hi Bob; I am no expert, but did you "create an account" using either your phone number or your twitter account? It has to have a way to connect to you. I use my twitter account, but it is my understanding that you can also use your phone number. Good luck, and keep trying! It's awesome!

Thanks TNT, got registered, found videos, but no sound, and volume is on high.
Appreciate the help

Bob

Well that's good news, tho sound is obviously very important! 😉 I am sure it will be some small thing, like a "mute" setting in the software or on your phone. Good luck, I hope you figure it out! Try the "HELP" screens.

Wow, crazy day, I am really glad to hear some are able to connect with the live streams. Audio was clearly a challenge. Started the day with a power washerer on a rig very close to the rally area, then a bunch of blowers when they were done with that.....

Once that was all done ran through a bunch of used/heat abused 9V batteries on the directional mic. Again audio - oh bother!

Not making accuses just saying these are early days and sorry things didn't work out just great.

I have a bunch of video of the sessions on an alternate camera (more HD more focussed) that I need to review. No idea if it is better or not...

Will see how it all works out. Will do my best to make it all available as soon as I can. Just to set expectations I am working off my cell phone data, so the video won't be for a few days, maybe a week, but as soon as I can I'll post it here.

So far it's been a great event! Looking forward to tomorrow and the factory tour!!!!

If there is cell coverage and you can stand the "amateur-ish" video I will walk around with the Periscope "UP" and capture the moment.

Doing what I can and loving the Redwood Life Style!
