Making Livestreams and Videos More Informative

What if you could add news stories, image, videos and tweets to live video to make it more informative and engaging? How would this change the way we experience events such as breaking news? Deepstream.tv is a new platform recently deployed in beta that makes it easier to find livestreams and add relevant contextual information to them. The result is a beautiful, responsive player that lets viewers browse your curated information without leaving the video player window.

Gordon Mangum, Research Assistant at the Center for Civic Media at MIT’s Media Lab will run a training workshop to demonstrate the features and capabilities of this platform. We will find interesting videos and/or livestreams, use Deepstream to add relevant media, and demonstrate how this curated video-based news can be embedded on any website. Our focus will be on newsroom and independent journalist applications, but anyone who is interested is welcome!

WHEN: Wednesday, March 16, 2016 from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM

WHERE: MIT Media Lab E15-341 (http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=E14) - 75 Amherst St. Cambridge, MA 02139:
