Cohousing-L Mailing List: Hybrid Zoom Meetings - Need Help

[Edwin Simmers (edwinsimmers]

Here at Bellingham Cohousing we used Zoom extensively during the pandemic for 
our general meetings and committee meetings. Now that we’ve returned to 
in-person meetings, there’s still a desire to keep Zooming for folks who are 
unable to attend in person because of illness or distance. We’re finding that 
hybrid meetings are more difficult to manage than Zoom-only meetings and would 
like to learn from other people who’ve tried hybrid meetings.

Challenges:

- We use a projector and screen so that in-room participants can see documents. 
How do we make the documents available to remote viewers? The screen is too dim 
for a Zoom camera.
- How can remote viewers hear and see both meeting presenters and in-room 
participants?
- How can the in-room participants see and hear the remote viewers?

We are researching equipment that would make hybrid meetings better for all 
participants and easier to manage the technology during the meeting. Could you 
share with us anything you’ve learned about equipment and processes for hybrid 
Zoom meetings.

Thanks
