Microsoft Stream includes screen recording function

Image
Microsoft set out to  conquer the business market in the field of video with a new platform  for  streaming  and hosting of videos: Microsoft Stream 3 years ago. Thanks to its integration with Office 365, Steam allowed video sharing within other applications (SharePoint, Microsoft Teams and Yammer) and assigned a video channel to each group of Office 365 users. Despite having some advanced functions (allowing, for example, to perform voice searches or use facial recognition to jump to parts of the video in which a certain person appears ), in this time the role of the platform has been quite discreet. A new feature Now, however, Microsoft has decided to start adding new features to Stream; If already at the beginning of this year it began to support live video annotations , today it has begun to implement the screen recording function, for now as a limited beta to some users, which will be progressively activated. Depending on the content we want to share, Microsoft Stream wi

Google Chrome: How to reduce Memory and CPU consumption

Image
Google Chrome is one of the most used browsers in the world by millions of users thanks to its design, versatility and search potential, but like any system made by humans, it is included to errors and one of the most notable by the user is the error associated with excessive CPU consumption. This slows down normal operating system operations, application crashes, computer restarts, and more. Although there is no exact reason on the part of Google as to why this happens, I will bring you some practical advice for its correction. Due to this bad management of the browser, our system is negatively affected by that incessant consumption of resources that ends up collapsing our usual use. If we have several tabs or windows open, consumption will be significantly increased and what to say if we also have many extensions installed. Do not allow Google Chrome and its applications to run in the background Google Chrome allows staying loaded in memory even when we close the brow

What is Blockchain Technology

Image
Blockchain is a technology that allows the transfer of data in a completely secure way thanks to a very sophisticated coding . It is usually compared to a company ledger where all the inflows and outflows of money are recorded. Of course, in this case, we would be talking about a digital event book. Talking about Blockchain is talking about the technology (the information coding system) that is behind Bitcoin. However, its function goes further. It is also used to create other cryptocurrencies that are based on the same principles but have other properties (policy, algorithm, etc.). The Blockchain contributes to a great novelty. And it is that this  transfer does not need an intermediary  to verify and approve the information, but it is distributed in several independent nodes that register and validate it. Thus, once the  information is entered it cannot be deleted, only new records can be added . Furthermore, it will not be legitimized unless the majority of them agree to
