One of my favorite parts of the Antarctica cruise was dealing with the incredible minutiae of halachic times in crazy places:
https://www.dansdeals.com/points-travel/trip-notes/guest-post-halachic-zmanim-polar-regions-kosher-antarctica-cruise/

It took countless hours, but it was very rewarding.

I'd like to stream a shiur on the kav hatairich from Rabbi A.D. Gancz for the benefit of DD/DDF viewers, but I'm wondering what's the best format for it?

Just record it and upload to Youtube?
YouTube Live and/or Facebook Live and feed some of the best comments to someone in the room for him to answer?
Zoom? How do you stop bombers with a public link out there? Would we have people ask questions at the end? Anyone have any pro accounts for a larger crowd and longer shiur?

Other suggestions?

Honestly the easiest for people to watch would be just uploading to youtube/vimeo but if you hype it up maybe you can get more people to watch it "live"

Right, I'd imagine it's more exciting if it's live, no?
Also, was trying to think what's the best way to incorporate questions.

You can ask for questions to be submitted in advance?
Two part series?
Even if its live you may want to have a prepared list in case they arent coming in as quickly as you would like?

I'd imagine people will have questions as material is discussed.

I watched a zoom class where people commented questions and if it's a half decent question the moderator unmuted him to ask the question

Can you explain the logistics of this to a zoom n00b?

It's really not complicated, maybe practice once before the live

You'd figure it out in a second. Just open an account and set up a dummy stream and play around with it.

But you can avoid zoom waiting rooms and passwords by streaming it over fb and YouTube, and just have someone (you!) monitoring fb and YouTube comments for good questions.

Is there any advantage to running FB+YT over just one?

I suppose there might be some who use one and not the other? You wouldn't need an account to view, only to ask questions. It would only be necessary if you felt enough people wouldn't comment on one of the platforms.

You have to be approved by YouTube before being able to stream unless you have a 1000 subscribers. Also keep in mind you need to run a different software for the live stream. YouTube is just a viewing platform.

Seems like that's only true for streaming from a mobile device.
