001push audio. The lights go off and now you are officially live. So you're recording Zoom on there. They're live streaming to YouTube. The board meeting has started and everything's going from there. Okay. All right. So now they've started. Now I step away. Yeah. Where do you usually go? Somewhere in the back. Right here. I don't know. Um because a lot of times when people are presenting day, they're like, "How do I meet the mouse?" Okay. So, so there's some lights though. I was going to ask you what I want once you finish up and then I'll ask you at the end. Okay. So then the next thing I do, um, make sure you silence your phone. Get all your volumes turned down. Okay. I go on my phone. I Google for Meridian School Board YouTube.
002Let me monitor it only initially. So I get get to the YouTube, you know, find the Meridian School Board YouTube. Okay. I go to YouTube. It should give me a link, which it does, right? There's Meridian School Board test. I light it up and open it up. I keep my volume down and I kind of walk away. Okay. And then I get quiet enough so that they can't hear it and the audience can hear it. I'm not disrupting. So I'll do it up to my ear just to make sure that I can hear it. Once I hear that, I turn my volume back down. I exit out of it because I don't need to sit there and watch it again. You just want to verify that it's great. Yep. Okay. I have not had an
003issue with it not streaming audio. Okay. But I always check it anyway just to make sure. Here's the catch though. If it's not streaming audio, yeah, your options are fairly limited. Okay, so one is just make sure that you actually turned on the volume, you know, like like it's a very fine you don't you can't stop the meeting, right? You don't want to be disruptive to the meeting. Yeah. But you also want to make sure this stuff is up and running, right? So if the audio isn't say it's not that and the audio is not working, what will be your next step after that? You can't restart anything. No, you can't. Um is it just we're stuck with what we've got? To some extent. I haven't [Music] had theoretically that's probably not going to happen,
004but you never know. I would probably say for you I will get everything prepped up earlier. Yeah. 10 minutes before go in fire it up. Fire up the YouTube. Fire this up. Turn on the Let them know like, "Hey, I need to do a microphone test. Turn on the microphone. Like have your YouTube up on your phone. Do a microphone test. This is Jared Garrick. Test microphone test for schoolboard meeting April 30th, whatever." Blah blah blah. shut off the microphone and make sure you hear it over the YouTube and that'll give you like nine minutes in which to diagnose. Okay, that would probably be your best bet. Okay. Um, again, I have not had the the only issues I've had is that dude not connecting. Yeah. And in which case, so if that bellies up
005on you, at least use the audio on this is surprisingly enough, the microphone on this is strong enough to pick up the room. Okay. And we would sacrifice the video board. Well, so we'd still get video of the presenter, which is ideal. And realistically, what everybody sees in the Zoom is only this anyway. Right. Sure. Okay. So, that would be your sacrifice play as if that that is likely a we link. It's been solid since you guys looked at it. Remember, but I had one board meeting back, you know, that was funky. Yeah. Yep. It wasn't detected. Turned out to be something related with the USB or either reboot or an update. I don't know. So, okay. So, we're doing the board meeting. Everything's fine. They're coming up. So, you know, as you go through
006the agenda, you know, so live stream That's right. You go through. Yeah. So, you go through the whole agenda, you know, you'll start to think. So, the last these are the last items on the agenda. So, information the last information from the student board members if there are any. Okay. Any information from the board members themselves. The minute they're done talking, they say, "Okay, this meeting is adjourned for signing up official paperwork." Okay. They're going to start chatting immediately after that. So once they say adjourned is when I should uh once once you hear them say information from school board members, you're going to be caught in your seat ready to stand up. And the minute they say adjourned, you go back in here because this is the only way to do it. Okay. So
007I'm going back to the closet computer first. You go to Zoom.
