I still have a set of papers coming in, but then I really
will be at my leisure. Two questions: First, if I deliver a short series of zoom
lectures on Hume, how many people can join?
Second, is there any way I can record them and upload them to YouTube? I know that when the managers of Carolina
Meadows, where I live, hold a Virtual Town Hall, as they do each week, 300 or
more residents join.
Anybody?
If you are using an institutional UNC Zoom account, you can have up to 1,000 people in the room. And yes, Zoom has an option for recording live.
ReplyDeleteHi Professor, if you want to use a general screen recorder, OBS studio works very well for it too. It's a lot easier to use than it looks, and very flexible.

I would gladly join! I am in an odd timezone in Southeast Asia at the moment, but if the time is right I would join live. Or watch recorded. Thank you, Professor, for the kind offer.
ReplyDeleteYou could try Youtube live as well.
ReplyDeleteCount me in!
ReplyDeleteI would attend live, depending on when the lectures are held. If they will be live, it would be great to have a syllabus beforehand, and you might consider scheduling for weekends or evenings when those of us working from home will be available.
ReplyDeleteI would either attend or vidi the video.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the devil's work for idle hands: the Washington Post reported on conservative networks behind the anti-quarantine protests in certain states crucial for Trump's reelection.
I suggest creating another network: since the protesters believe the Washington Post and the New York Times (both of which which have covered the protests) only publish fake news, the protesters and their fellow travelers should be informed through such reliable sources as social media that the anti-quarantine protests never happened and that the purported protesters are paid actors.
I would be very interested. Your Kant sessions were brilliant
ReplyDeleteIf your Kant lectures were any indication, covid or not, I'd join your Hume lectures.
ReplyDeleteHi Professor Wolff,
ReplyDeleteI would love to be in your Hume classes.
The Tech Department at UNC should be able to work with you remotely to record and upload your lectures.
There is a record button at the bottom of your Zoom screen. If Tech can make sure that your lecture is uploaded to the cloud (there is an option for this in Zoom settings), then all you need to do is share the link.
It's also not very difficult to upload your recorded videos to a YouTube channel. I've practiced, and it was quite simple.
I'd love to watch those lectures, either live or on Youtube. When you announce it, I'll see if I can join (working from home and different timezone).
ReplyDeleteWould love to join.
ReplyDeleteDear Prof. Wolff, I would love to join in. But I agree that it would be better, simpler and easier just to do it through YouTube live. We'll be there with you, writing comments or questions (in case you would like to answer them). I read your blog everyday...but, first time writing a comment. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteFor my part, my work schedule would likely preclude me from watching lectures live over Zoom. I would love to watch your Hume lectures on YouTube, but I have never used Zoom, so I don't know anything about its recording features (or lack thereof).
ReplyDeleteHonestly, at this point I would be more interested in the philosophy of Robert Paul Wolff than Hume. But I would watch your lectures on Hume on you tube. Just not sure I could do zoom or whatever it is. Thing is- there is no opportunity to discuss anything with Hume. But there might be with you.
ReplyDeleteI'd appreciate the chance to hear you lecture on Hume. My best wishes go out to you and your family.
ReplyDeletelove to watch
ReplyDeleteI would be interested in joining the Zoom sessions (the time of the day allowing).
ReplyDeleteMe too! Would be thrilled to join!
