Just something i have been thinking, that some people that use the yousing room on the chat, play gutar but dont sing, and then, some can sing but not play an instument, and then some like me, just like to clap.
so my suggestion is should there be a worship room, or just rename yousing to worship room, and allow say 3 cams to be up at one time,
so intead of having it solo,
We can come together with our seperate skills and make music!

That's a good idea, if it can be done using the CC technology.

There is latency (delay)... across the world it's significant... just within the US, maybe not so significant, but I'm really not sure how well it would work.

I had forgotten about the delay. It might not work. And there might be an echo or terrible feedback if someone isn't using earphones or a headset. Worth a try, but not sure how well it will work.

im all for it but im thinking now that it wont work that well cuz some mics and cams are slower then others and the singing and playing might not be in tune with eachother if you know what im trying to say.

You could make it work with sending the video towards the second broadcaster and the second broadcaster sends them both. In this way you will have the right moments of when the other one was speaking. Only this is another option which is difficult offcourse ;) .
Im not really sure about the latency, but i think it might even work nowadays.

We actually tried this and tested it recently. One of us was in the Netherlands, annother in the Philipines, another in Australia (I think), another in the UK, and another few in the US. :D

We were all so off-key! Because of the latency. It might work if just the ones in the USA sing along (since the server is located in the USA) and others listen. We can test that.

The difficulty of this suggestion would deplete all the resources of this chat. I mean speaking from experience in IT technology and maintenance, allowing 3 cams on at the same time with microphone usage requires a huge huge amount of bandwidth. PLUS, this also requires everyone involved in the worship cam session thing to have exceptionally fast internet. PLUS you also have to consider latency, which means the music takes time for it to travel across the world to your speakers. So even if we could have 3 cams up at once, playing as a team wouldnt sound right, because people would be getting the instruments and the voices in at different times and it wouldnt sound right, and it would slow down CC chat as a result. So in closing, its a good idea but I dont think we have the resources to pull that idea off, if im understanding you right. God Bless!

in Christ,
