That works for larger rooms, but smaller rooms make it awkward for people to leave their seats, particularly the classroom On Tue, Jun 4, 2024 at 11:19 AM David Ryskalczyk via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Some conferences I've been to set up a Q&A mic in the middle aisle and then people who have questions queue up in a line at the end of the talk. This seems to work reliably, but I'm not sure it's something we'd want to do.

I have installed audio conferencing, video conferencing and voice lift Systems, for the better part of 20 years.
Regardless of how the system is engineered, there is no cookie cutter way of doing things. Each room is unique in its room acoustics, noise issues, etc.
Adding cell phone audio to any audio system, whether it be audio conferencing, video conferencing or voice lift, is a no no.
I have worked with Biamp Systems hundreds of times (installation, and DSP programming)
I have been out of this technology for about four years now but,
yes it’s a great idea to add to a existing system, but remember you will need more money to connect cell phones to these systems, much more than a wireless microphone with a Stand.
Every lecture, discussion, or presentation during the introduction of the presenter, should explain “all questions would be asked from the microphone in the room.”
This would indicate that there is a Microphone available, and people will know where it is. It’s not that hard to train people how to use it properly.

I was a mic runner. And honestly it was very difficult because the speakers wouldn't work with me.
I appreciate you volunteering! I know how frustrating it can be. I've heard it before. I'm not sure of the best solution, but perhaps reminding the speaker to repeat the question. Perhaps some of the audience is shy about being on the recording? There has to be a solution that works to fix this problem.
I would search for people to raise their hand and be there with the mic and the speaker would pick someone else and I would try and run there but it wouldn't be in enough time.
I did a pre-presentation talk but it didn't help.

1) Get mic runners to ask people to speak into the microphone. 2) Remind speakers to repeat the question.
