So after a fair amount of technological wrangling, we've finally fixed on a way to live-stream the reading group in such a way that people can chat (without impacting on the broadcasting power)!
Basically, the session is going to be live-streamed on an Unlisted channel on YouTube. Adam will send the link out to everyone who's registered as a virtual attendee. In order to chat you need to sign up and get a youtube channel. The details of how you can do this are available here:

The chat will be projected onto the screen in the room so members in the room can see what the virtual attendees are talking about. Virtual attendees will be able to listen to all of the comments in the room. There's a test session scheduled for Monday morning, so if you want to join me for that to trouble-shoot anything, that would be great.
Adam will be trying to moderate the discussion online, but he's new to this, so bear with him! And send him an email if the online chat isn't working, or you have any other technical difficulties (he'll be checking the applebaumreading@gmail.com account throughout).
How can we register as virtual attendee?
