Hey Alex, yes this is all excellent information. Thank you for sharing and sorry for the delay. Your message inspired me to write a bunch of notes, watch a talk from Eric Tang, and listen to a couple podcast about Livepeer yesterday. I’m interested in trying out Livepeer Studio to store the videos soon and will try to sign up on the website this week to get a feel for how it works. I will follow up with you after I try it out and organize my thoughts better
To Do
- The pricing on the growth plan
Notes
- The pricing on the growth plan shows 10k minutes for 100 dollars
- Is there a way to store videos without accessing the transcoding and delivery services and just pay the $1 per 1000 minutes?
- Is this $1 per month?
- If the videos were recorded on zoom or obs and are already on youtube, then would this remove the need for transcoding?
- If i go with this plan, how would the videos be viewed? via an IPFS link on filecoin network? any livestreaming networks?
- how does this compare with uploading directly to the filecoin network?
- how does this compare with uploading directly to livepeer network?
- Livepeer Studio is a company based in New York, so would the videos have the resiliency of being stored on the decentralized livepeer/filecoin network or the vulnerability of being stored
- What would happen if the Livepeer Studio company goes out of business or has something happen where it stops working? Would the videos still be on the Livepeer Network? If so, how would i continue paying for the service to make sure that they are kept on the network?
- Consider: After answering some of these questions, it might be a good idea to try using Livepeer Studio now or in the near future
- Consider the costs: $1 per month could add up to be a lot with the amount of minutes of content that I have.
- Eden Creators: about 250 videos x 2 hour average = 250 x 120 = 30,000 . So that's 30 dollars per month roughly
- Dans Party: About 500 videos x 2 hour average = 60,000 minutes. So that's 60 dollars per month roughly
- These are very approximate estimates, but generally around the right ballpark.
- It might be best to start with the free hacker plan and just a handful of videos, then gradually
- There are also other services I think that do video storage for cheaper albeit with less decentralization that may be worth considering in the near term for redundancy in addition to google.
- Consider asking chatgpt about this. Or just going with Livepeer when i'm ready- it's not that expensive and could be worth it in the near future as i'm earning more revenue
- And for sure trying out livepeer a bit on a small scale will be instructive to learn how it may be helpful in the future
I’ll save this and review it again in the coming weeks after we have built the core application.
Feel free to reach out anytime, I’m excited to collaborate with you and Livepeer Studio on this soon :)

Hey Alex, sounds great. Each breakout room lasts for about 45 minutes and I’m aware of about about 10 breakout rooms that happen per week, so we’re currently recording and storing about 8 hours of video per week. Over the past couple years I’ve recorded and published about 200 breakout rooms which you can find on this Youtube channel and other community members have probably published a few hundred more. The videos I’ve recorded average closer to 1.5 or 2 hours because they include other parts of events in addition to the breakout rooms.
We expect that this will grow exponentially in the coming months, though I’m not sure about the exact timelines. There is an organization that is aiming to start playing the Respect Game with hundreds of participants in the next couple months and has millions of community members that they plan to onboard from there. We’re also in contact with several other large organizations who want to implement the Respect Game and there is another community in Uzbekistan that I believe is hosting fractal events with hundreds of participants each week who might interested in this as well.
The development of these fractal consensus tools are in a relatively early state of development but many things are coming together quickly and I believe that there will be many millions or billions of breakout rooms with these fractal consensus processes in the next few years. I’d be happy to ask the leaders of these organizations if they’re interested in storing videos from each breakout room and/or help you get in touch with them when the time is right. Thanks for all your help!
