Hello all — I haven’t had any experience in hybrid Zoom meetings but I have plenty of experience in hybrid meetings between a F2F meeting and people on a phone conference line. It requires the facilitator to be more alert to looping people on the phone into the meeting esp. around Q&A time. One thing having people on a phone line does is to insure people who are together and people on the phone talk one at a time. Of course, people on the phone can’t see charts or videos shown to the in-person meeting but you can rectify that by having all the a/v material distributed in advance such as powerpoint presentations so the phone folks can follow along. Love the idea of intensive training for people a la the tech side. Suggest minimum TWO people are trained so there’s always a backup. Three even better.
