[email protected] #1603 I am looking to upgrade my lighting/AV for online + hybrid facilitation. Looking for suggestions for: a lamp that lights face well when there's some backlighting from a window headphones/earbuds - currently just use the wired earbuds that came with my old iPhone, am open to wireless/Bluetooth or headset/noise cancellation. Curious what works for others. wide angle camera/table microphones for hybrid meetings Thanks all!
Michael Henderson All Messages By This Member #1604 Hi? Here're some options for you to look at... Lighting: Great but expensive option:? Affordable and still pretty good:? ?- note that depending on the natural light source in your room you may need 2? Headphones: Bluetooth adds latency and the possibility of dropped connections are one more thing to worry about, so I avoid. If it's a big group and it's mostly you presenting then the laptop speaker might work (if you want to avoid the look of wires going to your ears). Most software now will prevent feedback (your microphone picking up the sound from the speakers and looping). The choice then is either in ear or over ear and will depend on your aesthetic preference and comfort. Personally, I like small, cheap over ears.? Microphone: A USB mic on a boom (so it's close to your mouth) will make a BIG difference compared with your laptop mic or the mic on the cable of yr earphones. You want it off the table so that it doesn't pick up the sound every time you tap the desk / turn some paper. There are lots of options, I use a Rode:? mounted on a retractable arm:? . The Yeti is also very popular.? Camera: Again an external camera?is likely much better than your laptop and definitely needed if you're working with an external monitor. Logitech C9xx series seem to be the most popular:?. Note I had to use additional software to adjust the settings of the C920 - the defaults are awful. I used?Webcam Settings app and found it fine but the reviews are mixed. Make sure you're set up so it's more or less at eye level. Hope that helps!?

Sarah Nehrling All Messages By This Member #1605 For additional noise-cancelling power, consider using Krisp? (Free month or two with?, and then limited monthly minutes or ~$60/year unlimited.) I can take calls anywhere now, and filter out my background noise and?that of others. Works great when you're trying to facilitate a conference and the neighbors are shouting, garbage truck comes, sirens wail, etc. Sarah Facilitator, Trainer, Coach, Learner?

Griet Hellinckx All Messages By This Member #1609 开云体育 As to wide angle camera/mics for hybrid meetings check: You can see everyone in the room and those that are not in the room. The mic & camera turn to the person in the room that is speaking. Other noises in the room can slow this down, general laughing or an individual laughing might confuse the "owl" or slow it down, but all in all it is an amazing tool for team meetings for instance.
