This Vida live solution looks awesome. Can’t wait to see it in action.
Kudos to @lylepratt and team
Really slick overall. Super intuitive.

Ouh wow, just realized that I can see the recording right in my profile.
So if you go to https://vida.live/room/MM17CIZil now, you immediately get shown the recording including chat. Very cool. No need to post another link.

Yeah, was very cool to try it out and worked great even though the first room didn't work (blank black screen). But we just created another room and then it worked immediately :)
Here is some feedback about features that I felt were missing:
  • react to messages with emojis in the chat, like a quick thumbs up or something
  • "raising hands" feature since I suck at speaking up when I want to say something haha. I feel like I always miss the right time

it looks like the blank screen was a bug i caused when creating the stacker news profile on vida (vida is working on a fix).
basically my username was generated from my email login method, and i scheduled the call with that placeholder username before i updated it to “Stacker News”.
once i updated my username, i was no longer the host of that scheduled event.

Ahh, makes sense! It's hard to get all the edge cases down.
This reminded me of this joke:
A software tester walks into a bar. He orders a beer. Orders 0 beers. Orders 99999999999 beers. Orders a lizard. Orders -1 beers. Orders a ueicbksjdhd. First real customer walks in, orders a beer and then asks where the bathroom is. The bar explodes.
