So, I work at a university, and all our graduate classes are being held online. For the physiology department, they wanted a better setup than just a prof in their office. The reasoning was, student pay $35k to be in this program, so they should get a better product for their money. fair enough.
They ended up buying a couple of 4k cameras, studio lighting a switching gear. Right now, we stream to Zoom using the Group HD option which theoretically offers hi-def streaming, but it still doesn't look so good, so we're looking at different platforms that will look better. We've looked at both You Tube and Twitch, but they don't offer the interactivity that Zoom does, particularly screen sharing, since all the profs use Power Point, Google Slides or something similar.
Does anyone know of a streaming platform that might fill our needs better than Zoom?
Our needs include:
1080p streaming
Chat
Screen sharing (though that might be fudge-able)
This is an example of what our recordings look like using Zoom:

Thanks in advance!
