Leander Independent School District
When Leander School District, located in Leander, Texas, originally contacted Stream Dudes, the school district administrators were in search of a solution to stream their school board meetings as required by law in the great State of Texas.
Once Upon a Time...
When The Dudes first spoke with Mark Pace from Leader ISD, it was understood that the school district's goal was to comply with the state of Texas' Open Meetings Act, since school board meetings fall under and are subject to this act. With this knowledge the Dudes developed a clear and simple workflow built around a reliable vMix rackmount switcher.
"Well, this Coronavirus thing has created quite a crazy time. I was told at the last minute that our board needed to do an emergency board meeting but wanted to do it remotely. Not a huge deal except for all of the legal ramifications and requirements. It had to be streamed to the public and allow for citizens comments all being remote. I knew I couldn’t do it through vMix alone so finally came up with the plan of doing a Zoom meeting where people would be placed in a meeting room until allowed in. Brought that into vMix NDI from a laptop and was able to modify my multi-views and run my timers etc. all went off without a hitch. Was able to record and stream to two different locations and only reached 40% total CPU." - Mark Pace
​
Since then, the district acquired additional vMix licenses; continued to expand its streaming capabilities; and have streamed other events/activities...not just meetings. Stream Dudes continues to work with Leander ISD to this day.
"Thank you for all of your support over the years. You made me look pretty amazing and pull off something no one thought possible. "
