Need the Hive Mind's input...
My brother's youngest is graduating high school tonight and Mom won't be able to make it due to being stuck in rehab for back surgery. Is there a quick-n-dirty (not to mention free) way to livestream the event? Figure an hour or so, total.

Facetime or Skype?

Facebook live is another.

Thought about both but have no experience with either.
I'll see if they'll let me connect to their wifi. If so, I'll just put my phone on a tripod and do it that way.

Is the high school or the event host broadcasting the event? If they are, there should be an easy way to watch it.

I called and asked. Doesn't appear they even thought about broadcasting it somehow. My question got them rolling on it, though. (My home town. Small school with 225-ish students, K-12, and most of the people who work there are either classmates or at least schoolmates. I have connections. =D )

How many in the graduating class? 20? I think an iPad to Ipad FaceTime would be the easiest solution. Probably cheapest, too, if you can borrow two iPads.

As easy as it is with something like UStream, (now video.ibm.com with several price points, and a 30-day 5 viewer trial) there's no reason not to do it these days. Heck, Sutherland Springs Baptist was livestreaming their services for their ~50 members before the shooting. (I'd assume they still do, but haven't looked.)
And it's always worth asking about .edu and other organizational discounts.

They Livestreamed it. Not sure what they did but the only way it was going to let me watch was to load the Faceboom app. Nope, nope, and nope.
