But your setup for the people in the room only has a "stage" with a mic for speaking into and a camera pointing at the speaker, plus a second camera pointing back into the room at the people sitting at the table(s) with a speaker feeding them the sound. What's missing is a monitor so that the in-room people can SEE the Zoom meeting, can SEE the online people. And that is the problem: you have a monitor in the room; this monitor has a screen that SHOWS the Zoom meeting to the in-room people, and also a speaker which allows the in-room people HEAR the Zoom meeting. But there is a 1 or 2 DELAY in the sound, which means that when somebody in the room speaks into the mic, it takes 1 or 2 seconds for the sound to travel through the system and come out the monitor speaker. You get delayed audio on the in-room monitor, AND the in-room microphone is going to pick up this delayed audio, causing an echo. It's awful. Your explanation DOES NOT solve the problem, I'm afraid.
Hi Jan: The Zoom developers can easily solve the audio feedback problem by setting up a physical conference room group. Just as a single laptop mutes its own speaker as the microphone is activated, zoom can mute the speakers of more than one laptop that are part of a physical conference room group. IE if the sound originated outside the conference group it would be broadcast to all laptops. If the sound originated within the physical conference group the sound would be broadcast only to the laptops which are not part of the physical room group.
Helpful video. Looking forward to the next. Yes, I am hosting a hybrid meeting with speakers who are virtual and in-person in September. I will be hosting on zoom virtually. My co-host will be in person on site. We are hiring someone who will run camera and audio on site with co-host. Still building it, but that is our plan right now. The only interesting part is there will be two in-person rooms, which means two zoom meeting rooms. My only question is, should I create a breakout room within a zoom meeting for that second hybrid meeting or should I create a separate zoom meeting link that I run simultaneously?
If you want everyone to be part of the same meeting then you most likely create one Zoom Meeting that everyone logs into. From there you can still create Breakout Rooms based on what activities you'll do in the meeting where participants split up
Thank you for this video. We have the setup mentioned at the end. One problem we've encountered is our remote participants hear an endless echo when they unmute to speak unless the in-person host mutes. How should we go about this so we do not constantly have to mute and unmute?
For the in-person setup you only should have one mic and one speaker to avoid the echo. Which means either having a strict muting etiquette where everyone muted except who is talking, or having a microphone that you pass around like a talking stick

Oh that would be a blessing!!
