What do you wish you'd known earlier about setup and support for conference rooms?
There's a lot of discussion in some communities about offices redesigning meeting rooms, with the expectation that the in-person conference always will have remote participation. That means more attention to mics and camera and other audiovideo equipment -- and, I'm guessing, more emergency calls to IT (or whom?) when there are problems.
What advice would you offer a sysadmin who's new to this?
@estherschindler worked pretty dang well. I don't know all of how they had them set up other than definitely with docks.
A non tech aspect if there's a big screen is window light and bright room light falling on the screen and washing it out, as well as built-in or added anti-reflective coating.
@estherschindler get acoustic panels to reduce echo. So hate people using speakerphones in enclosed rooms and i cannot hear them because of the echos
@estherschindler I'm not a sysadmin, but we've frequently had remote attendance at our meetings pre-covid.
We had a phone in each that was connected to Skype, and all meetings created where there was the potential for someone to join remotely would have a Skype meeting added. All we had to do was join from the meeting room (which almost all had their own PC, large display, phone, login, etc.). If nobody joined remotely we'd close the Skype meeting. Main issue was nobody knew the PW if PC locked
