Now I have a full size keyboard at my hands instead of a phone one, I can type this with ease.
We have used Livestream for both the LCC and British Chess Championships. Dave Clayton has used it for 4NCL etc. I did a test and set up a Chess Scotland channel during the Edinburgh Congress last year to test bandwidths etc.
Main problem is for it to function correctly, you really need to have a fixed internet connection. A mobile one will be eaten alive with the amount of data that has to be uploaded for streaming video. Your allowance will disappear very quickly!
As soon as you start using streaming video, you have bandwidth overheads and that is the main problem with this.
