What are you using for streaming technology?

Can you allow multiple simultaneous presenters from different locations?

What are your price points?

What are your attendee limits?

What sort of presentation content do you support?

Why are you calling these meetups instead of online events?

Hey, Dillon at Venu here!

I'll try to answer in order:

- WebRTC for video/voice and Websockets for chat (built on Phoenix LiveView)

- Yes, people can setup sessions to allow for up to 17 simultaneous presenters from all over

- Still haven't settled on price points. We are going to be using the beta to help decide. For now we're footing the bills ourselves so all tiers are currently free.

- 17 simultaneous presenters, no hard limits on number of attendees it is up for the organizer to decide how many tickets they want available!

- Organizers who are streaming are able to share their screens / application windows / webcam.

- We go back and forth, open to feedback. We use online meetups/experiences/events internally. Since we're all developers our content probably isn't the best at the moment!
