How To Do Live Morning Announcements
Live morning announcements are popular in schools, financial trading firms, sales
organizations, and other enterprises. Rather than using a PA system or a telephone or
intercom, live video from the presenter(s) is streamed to everyone's desktop and
mobile devices. Announcements can have varying degrees of production values:
some are casual, delivered from a presenters desktop, while others are from a studio
(or room equipped to be like a studio) complete with green-screen and special
lighting. To conduct a live morning announcement follow these steps.
Use Streamsie PC and configure it to use a DEVOS account (see "How To
Stream A Live Event").
Use optional Green-Screen (Chroma Key, available for Streamsie Pro) built-in if
it is desired to put the presenters in front of a video or image.
Start you live stream
Issue a video Priority Alert that will open your live video on desktops without
the user needing to take any action. This is most helpful in classrooms and
other locations where tight scheduling is difficult.
Priority Alert can also override Digital Signage displays so that the Morning
Announcement is seen in lobbies, lunch rooms, and other common areas.
Note that because a Morning Announcement is not an emergency, you should
configure your alert to allow the user to close it.
Optionally record your Morning Announcement so that anyone missing it can
view it later using Video-on-Demand feature in DEVOS.
At the conclusion, cancel the Priority Alert and all desktops will close the
player and Digital Signage displays will return to their prior state.
Using Priority Alert for Morning Announcements is an option. A live Morning
Announcement can be simply the same as described in "How To Stream A Live Event"
where viewers must elect to view at the proper time.
