Exploring some LIVE streaming options for the FloridaHSFootball.com Shows.

Those options include Twitter/Periscope, Facebook LIVE and YouTube.

I will describe the advantage/disadvantages here... 

Twitter/Periscope and YouTube I can send one feed out and will stream instantly on without issue. That means I can embed the YouTube player on to a page on FloridaHSFootball.com for those browsing the site, while Twitter/Periscope allows people tap into the video the moment it goes LIVE.

However, I cannot send that same signal to Facebook LIVE without shutting down the feed going to Twitter/Periscope and YouTube. Apparently, Facebook is so afraid of competition that they don't want Twitter to access the same feed. There is a workaround that is supposed to work, but is not working on my end trying to set it up. 

So I want to know what your thoughts are about LIVE streaming video and which platform you are most likely to watch/listen on. So please vote in the poll and share your thoughts here.

Well i have some experience with periscope/twitter live from when i been live streaming Columbia games this year and i noticed you don't even have to have twitter to watch it,  just the link so it probably would give more access then facebook  live but I'm not sure how the YouTube does

No, you don't have to have Twitter to watch it indeed. Plus you can watch the video LIVE inside Twitter and people seem to respond to it quicker. All platforms save the video for watching. YouTube would help provide an archive.

Just my two cents...Seen plenty of quality streams through Facebook and Youtube.  I have never seen a quality stream through Periscope.

A quality stream can be done through Periscope now using their Producer platform. You would be quite surprised what I have seen done with it.

To me, Youtube seems to provide a more professional 'feeling' platform, and I like the archiving feature. I'm able to watch it on my phone, my computer, or in my home theater.

I don't know that I have ever watched a twitter/periscope feed that wasn't glitchy, even if the quality of the picture was decent.

I can't comment on Facebook as I rarely use it.

If it is professionally done or even semi professional on Periscope it can make wonders. A lot of the glitchy you speak about is from where you are using the app on your phone and I will agree that can happen. I think doing a combine stream out that allows for both the same signal to go to Periscope/Twitter and YouTube are my best bets.

Always watched on YouTube not sure if available on Twitter or Facebook but it’s nice to rewind on YT and rewatch big plays. Also on YT it’s nice pulling up the app on my smart TV or Amazon Fire, Roku, etc and stream live games on my big screen. My 2 cents.

Trelle,  Totally understand where you are coming from. I think with the YouTube platform, it allows us to put it on our site directly making things easier instead of jumping through more holes. Like I said earlier, Periscope/Twitter and YouTube are likely the platforms we will go with here.

      I seriously can't remember how many times I had to do that very thing. Like Nolebull said in another discussion, the kids know kids from other schools and where the "hot hand" is. I never entertained discussions with kids or parents of kids from other schools. I know we lost some good ones because of it but I am ok with that.

      In a single word, "no." In a lot more words, see the following: (From 2023-24 FHSAA Handbook) 36.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 36.2.1 Athletic Recruiting. “Athletic recruiting” is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school’s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.   and this . . . 36.2.2 Improper Contact. “Improper contact” is contact, either directly or indirectly, whether in person or through written or electronic communication, by a school employee, athletic department staff member, representative of the school’s athletic interests or third parties, such as an independent person, business or organization, with a student or any member of the student’s family, in an effort to pressure, urge or entice the student to attend a different school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.  See Policy 37.    In fact, if the kid contacts the coach at another school, the coach is not supposed to communicate with the kid other than to refer the kid to the person at the school responsible for admissions.    Best I can tell, there is no exception for being able to reach out to a kid who plays a sport that is not offered by the school that the kid currently attends.  Perhaps there should be . . . but then you'd really be opening Pandora's Box.

      So you are not allowed to talk to a kid who is not an active football player currently attending a school that doesn’t have a football team?

      1.  Ask around and get the kid's phone number. 2.  Call the kid.  3.  If that doesn't work, DM the kid.  4.  Once communications are established, try to convince the kid to come to your school.  There may be other ways, but I think this would be the easiest way to recruit a kid .
