Setting up live broadcast on staff meetings on MS Teams
Hi there,
For a while, the staff in my office have been doing our staff meetings all on MS Teams online, broadcasted from our Boardroom and hosted by our CEO with people listening and contributing online.
There's been a discussion recently about getting our face-to-face meetings back again, but they still want to include those who are WFH. Traditionally we held meetings up on our indoor Terrace with all the staff sitting in attendance while we projected our Powerpoint presentation on a projector board, and the speakers would get up in front of a mic and podium.
I'm trying to figure out what the best way to go about this would be. Whether we need to buy a proper DSLR camera and hold it on a tripod, connecting it to the computer so it can broadcast and pick up the audio?

- Just an update: we actually have a spare Sony PXW-X70 video camera on hand. However I can't find the means to set it up as a camera for MS Teams.
AUOSIT0618 You'll need an HDMI capture device like the Elgato Cam Link 4k (Cam Link 4K – Elgato). That will capture your camera's HDMI output and input it to your computer.
There are cheaper options out there but the Cam Link would probably be more reliable for a corporate setting. Or you can upgrade to something like the ATEM Mini which gives you options for multi-camera inputs: ATEM Mini | Blackmagic Design
