My colleagues and I were asked to create a kit of equipment to enable Quaker Meetings in our quarterly meeting group (Bucks Quarterly Meeting) to Zoomcast the quarterly meetings. The meetings are hosted in a rotation among the several meetings. This posed a challenge because these historic buildings often have none of the services to support technology. One of them does not have electricity!
We learned quite a lot in the process of assembling our kit. For example, we learned that a Cell Phone’s “hot spot” can support a Zoom call. Our instructions are evolving, but here is the draft and an equipment checklist. (Disclaimer: Use this to inform yourself and harvest ideas, but work up your own rather than blindly relying on what’s here.)
It’s easy to overlook or forget a critical detail or component. Here’s the “load list” to plan what you must bring with you.
If you have anything to add, please share it.
