This morning’s RAU governing council meeting was a little different from usual.
The chair, the Rt Hon Michael Jack CBE, was unable to attend and presided over the meeting from the comfort of his own home. He was able to do so using standard video conferencing equipment and some support from fellow council members.

The meeting went extremely well with only one minor instance of video freeze and audio lag. Luckily the lunch time sandwiches weren’t virtual!
The equipment used was:
- Short Throw Projector
- Portable Projector Screen
- Laptop
- Logitech Conferencing Kit (Webcam & Microphone/Speaker console)
- GoToMeeting conferencing software
Many thanks to Leigh Miller, one of our Service Desk Analysts, who set the kit up for us.
