[TVARC] Suspension of Zoom Broadcast of In-Person Membership Meetings

[mike regan]

TVARC Members,

During our meeting on Thursday February 3rd, theTVARC Board of Directors unanimously voted to suspend future zoom broadcasts ofthe club’s monthly membership meetings.

The reasons for this decision are summarized below:

·      Producing these zoom broadcasts has proven to bemuch more difficult than the board originally anticipated it would be.  

·      It requires at least two people on site at themeeting to coordinate the logistics of the broadcast.  

·      The on-site camera’s field of view is extremelylimited, and significantly limits the resulting video quality.  

·      The audio input is limited to a single wiredmicrophone which makes it difficult to capture all of the audio content of themeeting. 

·      The required computers and audio/video equipmentneeded for the broadcast must be packed and unpacked as well as beingtransported to and from the meeting.

·      Finally, there have been very few people logginginto these meetings since in-person meetings have resumed.  The zoom attendance has ranged from only 5 to10 participants per meeting, and a majority of those logins were from here inThe Villages.

It is for these reasons that the TVARC Board of Directorshas voted to suspend future zoom broadcasts of the club’s monthly in-personmembership meetings.
