@NorthProductions Devi's setting up the discord meeting. Can you post your username here so they can add you?

Is Google Hangout the same as Google Meet? They keep changing the names/features of things.

Yes that's what we messily decided. :) I'm dex3703 there.

Zoom meetings run out of time before we could get started. @Deiv2008 is setting up something with Discord.

I've gotta get some work done before 5, but hoping to be on around 4:30 to help test things out. See you then.

I think we're all figuring that out. :) Presuming with Melissa starting the call, she'll project the video. We can make a rule about mics on/off, asking to pause for comments, etc. If we like this, I saw there are some plugins/apps that supposedly handle this more smoothly. I think Melissa assuming everybody has Zoom so just starting with that is a good place to start.

Interesting that Youtube people are cynical. Aside from some fan-made things, everything is labeled as kid's programming, and comments are turned off. Took me a while to realize fan videos have profanity or other material added so that comments are possible. Grateful to find a few people here to talk about this kid's show that appeals to us so. Some of the fan videos have a much greater emotional impact than I'd guess before watching them.

I only turn the camera on if absolutely required, so don't worry about having the camera on or not. I'll try joining 10-15 minutes early so we can see how it works. Is Pluto a TV service? I've been watching them on Youtube, on a channel called The Cartoon Archive. I like how whoever's running it includes the episodes in full, including the full credits, which the official Hasbro-MLP channel doesn't.

Hey everybody, 5pm Pacific works for me, though 6 would work better. I can make either work. If we're doing Zoom, maybe start 10-15 mins before the actual time, so we can figure out how to do it?

Do you want to try tomorrow evening still, like you suggested? I'm US west coast.

No response unfortunately. We can try organizing the 3-4 people interested on our own.

Thanks for doing this. Your idea for Zoom sounds like the easiest option. I'll try to find a way to start an event.... I found disputes@mlpforums.com in the site Guidelines, and sent an email asking how to set up an event. Will let you know if I hear anything.

Sure, I should be to that point by then. Happy to open it up to others.

That's a fine idea. I think I'm midway through S2, so could be at the end in in a few days. Is the finale is a double episode?

I'm a few episodes into S2. I've never initiated a watch party. Looks like there's something called Watchparty you can use. Also Teleparty. https://www.teleparty.com/youtube https://www.watchparty.me/ I think you can also do it through Zoom or similar.
