Hybrid Link
Linking meeting participants in the Council chamber with remote participants on video conference
Local authorities need to function, communicate and be transparent whilst at the same time keeping members, officers and the public safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hybrid meetings – joining
physical and remote participants.
How they work…
Public-i offers a meeting solution that allows a mix of remote and physically present participants. We call this Connect Hybrid. This works with any video conferencing software, such as Connect Remote, Zoom, Teams or Webex. Of course, it is also fully compatible with Connect webcasting.
Participants can see and hear each other:
Participants in the Council Chamber can see the remote participants using large visual displays and hear them through the in-room audio.
Remote participants can see a wideshot of the chamber. When a participant in the chamber speaks, the cameras focuses on them and their name is displayed.
