OK I have been going over some platforms and working to understand this better. So option we have for live discussions are YouTube Live, Discord, and possible Zoom and Google Chats.
Personally I am leaning on Discord as it is connected with Patreon and my son currently has been using it for ever. It also will allow us to an minimum voice chat as a group and possible video chat as well. The problem I have is it is more technology for us to learn - which we can do I am sure of that.
YouTube live is trusted and I am sure will work great once I understand it better. The issue here is it just me talking and reading all comments. This is fine but not what I am hoping for in a Patreon member monthly live. But I think it is worth some looking in to more.
Now the Google Chat is free and I know I can us it for future interviews of companies and members not local to me. But I think it is limited to time and involvement. Meaning only X numbers of people can get involved at one time. Zoom works great as I used it for classes during 2020. But the cost is high from what I know.
Please let me know what you think and I will start rolling out some test runs soon. I really want to connect with everyone in a different and better way for Patreon. Thanks again for you support as always and I look forward to seeing you all on the water.
