Hybrid events - in room and remote presenters - making everyone audible
JMcG20 You tend to need another presentation PC. That PC will have a connection to a local microphone that can be passed around the local crowd when they have a question. It should also be connected to a camera and point to the local audience.
It's video should then be connected to a local large display for everyone to see and finally it's speakers connected to the local PA system to amplify for everyone to hear.
Care should be taken to try to keep the local PA and local microphone away from each other and feedback occurring.
All other local machines should have audio disabled, both speaker and microphone.
When you get to groups of 50+ people, you have to treat it as a presentation, not a meeting.
You can also look at Teams Presentation solutions.
EWoodrick thank you for the detailed reply, that is helpful for ensuring any questions from in-room attendees are heard by all.
My main challenge though is the online-only presenters being audible. At the moment the in-room mic is held in front of the in-room presenters laptop and this increases the volume of that sound to push it to the in-room PA but his solution is not good.
Below is a diagram to show our current setup. Hopefully this makes sense. Thank you
- Got it sorted in the end. Basically went out and got the gear the guy walks through in this video and it's working now. Not the same actual branded items but the equivalent:
