As an introduction, it was just fine. It would have been nice to pull up transcripts with each video. It would also be nice to have One natural course that includes all of the other courses.

For example:
"Course 01: The Basics of Live Streaming
Course 02: PTZOptics Camera Line Training
Course 03: Helping Your Church Live Stream 2.0
Course 04: Esports in Education - Live Streaming Esports Tournaments"

Good video but overlooks 3 things. 1 - Looking at and reviewing using hardware encoders and hardware decoders. 2 - Doesn't tell you that you can do everything by command line Linux/Unix using basic FFMPEG commands to livestream broadcast rtmp, udp, srt, rtsp or even just write your own WebRTC webpage to stream the video for free. Also no mention of Haivision (best in class srt broadcast mobile app). 3 - Doesn't tell you how to be your own CDN (bypass big tech - Google, FB) set up your own hardware or bare metal server with either free (MistServer, CRTMP, ffserver, etc.) or paid (Evostream, Wowza, etc) and get going as an end to end solution not depending on mega companies.

Para ser gratuito, muy sencillo y completo. El Ăşnico problema que veo, es que faltan 5 capĂ­tulos. En el Nro 11 finaliza, el indicador de avance marca 16 para finalizar el curso.
