      Hello Fi_Donk Thank you very much for your feedback. As Heather mentioned in the updated call format, the team is working on making some improvements to find information easier and to make it more interactive. Everyone should still have a meeting invite with link to join. Certainly appreciate all the feedback. 

  • Not a question, but I highly recommend investing in a good microphone (or headset w/ mic).  People can forgive bad or no video, but bad audio is impossible to work around or ignore. 

  • When using Teams Webinar, Town Hall or Live Event, do you need to use Microsoft eCDN (Content Delivery Network), and when should you transition to a third party CDN?

  • Loved the real time examples of lighting and camera placement. I often have to be on camera from a hotel room and have used a wastebasket upside down to get the right height. lol.
