Another crazy week for what has turned out to be another crazy year. But last Friday I officially started what I am calling a 'sabbatical' and taking some time out from frontline teaching and speaking until at least the end of January. On the one hand, there is a ton of work to be done regarding a recent merger. I have a list of DevOps tasks literally as long as my arm which includes loading out for H2. On the other hand - and after several months of big deliveries - I wanted some time away from the coalface and to have a breather. Anyone who does teaching or speaking regularly knows there is a lot associated with that. So, a break is needed. And by break, that means pivoting to things which are more transactional such as my DevOps tasks, preview testing for Microsoft and this blog. So, this week I am going to discuss how to stream a Teams Meeting to YouTube. It's something I really should have done months ago, but somehow, I always never got around to it. But it feels the right time, and there are a ton of reasons to use custom streaming. Breath of audience, different audience, different surface. If you think about it, something like 2 billion use YouTube so that goes well beyond the limits of a live event. And to be honest, it's not a difficult setup - and neither is it an on or off switch so you can easily configure it for those who need it. What's not to like? Let's talk about Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP)
