Commissioners say future meetings will stream on county website, discontinue Facebook broadcasts
Summary
At the Jan. 22 meeting the Bucks County Board of Commissioners announced the Jan. 22 session would be the last to be broadcast on the county's Facebook page; future live streams will be hosted on the county website after recent Facebook streaming glitches.
The Bucks County Board of Commissioners announced at its Jan. 22 meeting that future live streams of meetings will move from the county Facebook page to the county website.
A commissioner said the Jan. 22 session will be "the last meeting that will be broadcast on the Facebook page," citing repeated glitches in the Facebook broadcasts during prior meetings and noting the county has improved its own website streaming capabilities. The commissioner added the county has invested in website upgrades and the switch should reduce broadcasting failures and give residents a more reliable access point for meeting video.
Why it matters: The change affects how residents access live meeting video and archived recordings. County officials urged residents to use the county website to view future meetings and said the website already has the capability to stream reliably.
What was not specified: The transcript does not list the technical vendor, the exact date when Facebook broadcasts will cease other than the commissioner’s statement that Jan. 22 would be the last, nor does it give a timeline for moving historical recordings from Facebook to the county site.
Ending: Commissioners said meetings will continue to be broadcast, but moving forward the county website will be the official streaming location.
