Hi there,

I am the author of this Show HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22669084

Back then, I released the materials for my Intro to Python course "to the world". GitHub repo: https://github.com/webartifex/intro-to-python

I incorporated many of the constructive criticism and am currently recording a video lecture series on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-2JV1G3J10kRUPgP7EwLhyeN5lOZW2kH

I guess that a lot of people without a CS background would find these resources valuable and am open for further feedback.

If you have any "non-tech" friends who want to learn to code, please feel free to direct them to my course.

Stay healthy everybody!

Hi there.

What are good tools to monitor the quality during an 8-hour workshop via Zoom / MS Teams?

Background: I am conducting a three-day workshop next week via MS Teams. It'll be roughly 8 hours per day with breaks.

I always do a brief test session with the participants on a prior day to identify any tech issues.

This time it seemed that the video was hanging for 1-2 seconds a time a couple of times. But I as the host did not notice that.

So, I was wondering if there are any tools that monitor the quality on the participants' devices and show that to me.

My default network speed test did not indicate any troubles.

Also, in the past, MS Teams sometimes showed a "bad quality" message on my side when the participants did not notice that. So, MS Teams built-in connection check seems to not be super reliable.

Thanks for any tips.
