Notes from livestreaming IndieWebCamp Germany:

• the backpack full of equipment is heavy, it would be great to figure out how to lighten it
• need a longer microphone cable to get the boundary mic to reach farther
• switching rooms meant that the HDMI splitter for the computer needed a longer cable the second day, so I need either more cables or ideally have the host provide at least one long HDMI cable for each location
• having the computer running OBS for the streaming was useful since I was able to overlay session titles quickly as well as blank the stream with the IWC logo while fiddling with the switcher output
• the IRC log overlay didn't come in handy as much as I thought it would, tho it was glitchy the first day and might have been more useful then if it had worked properly
• I should ask the host to provide power extension cables rather than trying to bring those
• having a longer HDMI cord that goes to the projector/TV means I can be more flexible in positioning the booth, since that was the limiting factor this time
• two cameras was enough, not sure what I would do with a third for this kind of event
