streaming kit
Streaming an IndieWebCamp requires some planning. Streaming can be anything from an extra laptop to a dedicated streamer.
Dedicated Streaming Device
Aaron Parecki uses a Teradeck Vidiu to stream live to Youtube. This is a dedicated hardware box that costs ~600γγ« and thus may be beyond the budget of some.
Laptop
Laptops, by comparison, are something many people have. Some even have older laptops that can handle the simple duties of a streaming system.
There should be enough to cover all the possible sessions you may conduct. A good inexpensive option is to secure a Chromebook, which is a simple streaming device.
When using a laptop, it is best to add an external microphone, since laptop microphones are optimized to pick up a single person speaking at close range.
Video cameras
The current top option for a good quality camera is the Logitech C920. This camera retails for 70,γγ« but can often be found on sale at Amazon. This provides a wider angle view than laptop cameras, and also includes a microphone that can pick up a wider range of the room.
Microphones
In order to cover the room, if possible, it is best to have two types of microphones. A directional one for the presenter, and an omnidirectional for the room. However, this adds the complexity of mixing either in hardware or software. Barring that, you can use a single microphone that is passed around as needed.
