We too are taking time to think and plot out what hybrid events could look like going forward.
I'm really interested if folks here have recorded any of them and can share links/examples of some of the better/best?
Our hybrid events thus far have included a few people in person presenting with audience completely online. You can see examples on our YouTube channel:
http://go.iu.edu/CRHCYouTubeI'll echo Katie Boardman's statement that clean, clear audio is the lion's share of the audience's perceptions of quality.
Unfortunately, my institution is housed in a converted swimming pool-quality audio from echoey, brick walls with absolutely zero sound dampening has been a huge challenge for us; not to mention my learning curve as a museum curator and not a television producer. :)
Best of luck, and please keep us posted about your journey on this!
Warmly,

All,
As the Lowe Art Museum looks to reopen in August we are considering how we can host hybrid live/virtual events. Basically live stream something like a lecture and panel discussion, etc. I am thinking first how we might use Zoom to do this. I want to know if anyone is currently doing this with Zoom and how. Just trying to assess how much staff and technology resources we would need to dedicate and get a sense of the quality of the experience. Also curious how things link slide presentations might be handled rather than a basic broadcast where the slides might not be very visible.
Thanks in advance.
