My streaming is set at 284kbps so there is plenty of room there. And I am on a wired connection.

And, its not easy on a small laptop (I use my MacBookPro) for screen space; the SL window is scrunched as it goes out at 320×240 (I miight have fiddled with the capture settings to get the area of the screen since it includes the titlebar of the window).

Lastly, to repeat, a key aspect for being able to stream is sending it to a proper streaming server that actually handles the stream requests (each avatar viewing is another stream of data).

AND… the trickiest part was getting the sound out from SL, as the Desktop Presenter tool does not capture sound. And unless it was fixed truly in the last update, SL client sticks with the sound sources when you launch the app- so leave the audio in speaker or headset mode when you launch SL, then swap your sound source to Soundflower– otherwise, you cannot listen to the sound (this happened on the second time we did this, I had to launch my wife’s computer in the other room to hear the audio).

But for the future, it looks like I am getting a high end PC to be the SL viewer, and route the video through an analog-Digital box so I can have that as an input to my Mac– much less load on one machine.
