The replay is useless.
What happened was there was prerecorded video playing, then Aaron went live, then Aaron stopped it. That 6 minutes section is the recording, that’s all you see is 5 mins of prerecorded then a minute of low quality video, mention of myself then it stops.
The stream was then restarted, but that was not recorded.
My suggestion is if this happens next time to just stop live video, or budget limit it to just the speaker. I’d also encourage if on the video to have a simple background which doesn’t change when you move. Having a plain surface behind your moving part would cause less bandwidth needs.
The people with shelves and complex surfaces behind their heads are not helping with the Amazon live limited technology.
If you see how look at this screenshot as it degraded.
See the lower left person had behind them a complex pattern of a wall, lamp, desk, then see how it degraded trying to squeeze that difference in the next image
You see the same way the background blurred into foreground in the other 3 images.
Aaron can’t know when Amazon Live is going to have a bad day, but all on camera can try to have the items immediately behind them a plain surface, and Aaron may be able to make it audio only and video only on say one person at a time. Even then, it may not work well.
I’ve used Zoom, Hangouts, WebEx and a few others, what Hangouts does is a good idea that if you’re not speaking they don’t transmit your video, Amazon live doesn’t seem to be that clever so likely it’s the host has to attempt it manually.
