Apart but Together - Libera Mini Concert (6 June 2020)

[Surpinto]

Ahahah

I've been thinking yesterday that, apart from the concert experience that cannot be the same as a live concert (but I am still glad we can enjoy it that way !), I will indeed miss seeing you all, making new friendships, buying the signed program, travelling, enjoying the beauty of the cathedral, ...

But as I understand there will be a tchat so we will talk a lot about the songs as usual. I just want to draw everyone's attention on the fact that probably the kids will be able to read everything so we want to not be invasive and very positive about their performance !

Good point! I'm not sure if I'll join the live chat. I feel as though it would distract from watching; but maybe I'll give it a whirl.

Well the video will stay on YouTube so I’m sure if you feel like you missed anything you can watch it again and again & again

I was wondering if anyone fancied a particular virtual pub for a post-concert pint. With a little research I located The Red (On)Lion, but I haven't actually been in.

Oh, so the mini concert video will be saved and I can always watch it at a timing more suitable for me? 'Cos the original timing is like 230am in the morning for me :/

Yes, the video and the recording of the live chat will remain. Padmachou's remark about keeping the comments approperiate and decent remains the more valid.

Thank you Padmachou for pointing this out. We mustn't forget the boys and their families will likely see the chat.

"Note: Live streams that are trimmed in the video editor will not have Chat replay." (https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2524549?hl=en)

What does that mean?

Anyway, this has nothing to do with of course not making unpleasant remarks, but this is understood in advance, no? Apart from that: Will we have any reason at all for negative remarks? No. Well - this concert type is a "premiere" for every single one of us, actors and audience, and I guess that we'd all like to savour the music without (too much) distraction.

What does that mean?

Well, I think it means exactly what it says. If the poster of the original live stream decides to edit the video afterwards in the video editor (i.e. trim), this operation will remove the life chat from the resulting video.

This isn't relevant to the upcoming Libera concert, as the video is pre-recorded, edited, perfectly finished and ready for upload (if not uploaded already ). Note, the above answer refers to Live streams only, which (apparently) can be edited (like trimmed) afterwards.

Exactly. And yes, I will be rather enjoying the performance and probably won't join the live chat to avoid distraction and fully savour the premiere. Well, normally we don't chat during a concert, do we?

"Live chat basics

Live chat is turned on by default and shows up to the right of your live stream’s video player. After your live stream ends, it’ll be archived and viewers can replay the video along with the live chat. Live chat only shows up on YouTube watch pages -- not on embedded players.

Note: Live chat is not available if your channel or live stream’s audience is set as made for kids."

Would not surprise me if the stream is set"for kids" which would avoid the risk of inappropriate comments. I'm sure most Libera fans would behave appropriately and with sensitivity but sadly there are trolls and idiots everywhere.

Who says I intend to do otherwise?

[filiarheni]

If you are not familiar with Youtube premiere (and awake at the moment ), here is an example by Trinity College Choir, playing right now. If you go to the beginning, you see the countdown. The live chat is on the right side.

Also, for anyone who is distracted by the live chat, on the top of the live chat screen is a list of options, one of which is the option to open the chat in a new screen. When you choose that option, the original live chat screen next to the video goes blank as a new screen opens in your browser with just the chat. That way, you can just focus on the video.
Or just go full-screen with the video.. yeah, that might actually be the best option anyway Although I will probably also like to comment every now and then in the live chat. We'll see how it goes. It's pretty exciting to have this new experience waiting for us!

Libera published the concert poster today! Isn't it just great!

Btw, I wonder, if there is a poster, will there be a concert programme for download as well?

Looks like Cameron Birmingham. At least three redheads in the group now.

I hope everyone is psyched for tomorrow. See you 7:30 Greenwich, 2:30 Eastern time.
