In 2020, Virtual Tying Tuesday was only available to club members and only using Zoom. The Pro account restriction of 100 users per session was one impediment to general public broadcast. But the greater impediment was bandwidth. Over 50 "live" users results in some degradation. It's a problem that Zoom has had since it's explosion in popularity the past year, and an issue they are working hard to improve.
In December, KFF went to simulcasting VTT on YouTube. Live streaming to the Tube allows for unlimited number of participants, and the greater bandwidth of their mature platform results in better video quality. In addition, YouTube live streams can be "cast" to smart televisions (those connected to internet). Watching fly tying on a 48" TV in high definition is a blast!
Equally important, YouTube sessions are recorded. Late for a session? No problemento! Just drag the red dot on the video timeline to the far left and start from the beginning. If you miss it all together, the video is usually available for 48 hours after the session.
Starting this Monday, Red Stick will hold their monthly fly tying sessions on Zoom for "active" participants with live-streaming to YT for "casual" participants. Kisatchie and Acadiana will be continuing their live-streaming as well, when they resume Virtual Tying Tuesday on February 2nd. Check their websites for links to the tying sessions.
