2020: A successful video meeting also depends on clear audio
Camera, microphone, screen and room organization must be evaluated together.
Topic year 2020
A need for concrete communication
In 2020, video conferencing plays an important role in professional exchanges. The presentations of solutions during this period highlight the simplicity of use and communication between teams present at several sites.
The preparation of a room should not be limited to the image of the camera. Remote people must understand the exchanges, including when a participant talks from the other side of the table.
Test with the right positions
A useful test is repeated as planned: number of participants, seating positions, documents to be shared and return screen. The microphone and sound restitution shall be tested under these conditions.
Lighting, camera position and available controls also influence the flow. Users should be able to start a meeting and identify essential settings without improvising any connection each time.
Foreseeing external uses
Visitors do not always arrive with the same devices or applications. The project must specify the connection possibilities and a suitable solution in case of incompatibility.
Alltech can prepare a room with screens, connections and audiovisual equipment. The choice of material comes after the actual meetings are described.
