Wow – now you can do a Google Hangout On Air (a live video broadcast) for up to 8 hours!
That’s a huge amount of additional time from the previous 1-hour-maximum you had. And remember: up to 8 hours means just that – you don’t have to do 8 whole hours.
Oh what possibilities! Here are just 4:
- A live idea-a-thon to flesh out thinking and ideas for brand engagement via live participation with brand owners, customers and fans on the social web.
- Live segments over a set period with different people talking about different aspects of a topic.
- Live broadcast everything in a one-day conference or other event.
- Be very creative and experiment with your movie idea via “live TV over the web”.
- …
Plus you get a recording of everything you do that gets published on your YouTube channel, and which you can edit.
How can you see opportunities?
