Hello everyone! Wanted to start this off by saying MAN it’s been a long time since I joined JWTalk. I first joined after I was baptized I think at age 15, now I’m 22 and a ministerial servant. I haven’t been on much (high school, college, meetings, service.. it’s a lot even without scrolling through forums lol). I was recently appointed as the Sound Servant in my congregation on top of my other privileges (post pandemic has been crazy for us) and was looking for some help. Our current setup for sound and video during meetings is as follows: We have two computers setup right next to each other. One computer (which we’ll call PC1) is connected to two tvs setup at the front of the congregation for videos. The other computer (PC2)is connected to a third tv that hangs down from the ceiling, facing the brother on the stage. This one runs zoom— the screen is shared with the brother so he can see and call on those at home joining in over zoom who want to comment. PC2 also connects to a camera at the back of the Kingdom Hall, that zooms in on the brother on the stage. One brother runs PC1 and the other brother runs PC2. Here are the responsibilities for each brother: The brother on PC1 starts the zoom meeting as host. He plays videos for the congregation (to the two tv screens up front) as well as shares that video to zoom. This brother is also in control of sound— so he manages the microphone audio for all the mics as well as video audio and zoom audio (which all run through a separate sound system box in front of him under the computer). The brother on PC2…. permits people to enter the meeting on zoom. See the issue? I feel like the brother on PC1 has a LOT of things on his plate— so much so it’s difficult to pay attention to, or even enjoy, the meeting. Not only that, but we have a shortage of capable brothers. Many in our congregation are up in age, and are unable to do the necessary work for running a meeting. I feel like clearing out that secondary PC will give us an extra brother to schedule for other assignments and lighten the load on all of our brothers since it’ll be one less assignment in rotation. If not that, then at least give the brother on PC2 a little more to do to help out the brother on PC1. With all of that being said: how does your congregation handle the sound of you’re also using Zoom? Do you have just one brother, or two? What software do you use? Hardware? Any advice on this matter is very much appreciated! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There was a video about a brother that was a football player and a sister who was an opera singer but it isn't available on Jw.org and i can't remember the name. Anyone know it?

I'm looking for a video for an elder in my Hall. He wants to use it in his part but can't remember what it was. He said it was about an African brother who played soccer. That's al we have as a lead 😂 any ideas?

Hmm.. Well what's exactly new about this update. I read what Google play said but I'm not sure how to do it..

Wow.. Just saw that. Thanks. Does anyone know when we will be able to highlight and take notes?

Does anyone know a release date for the Android update?

Thanks William, that means I have everything I need!

Any new updates for Android? I'm too busy to search through this thread for info.. Can someone catch me up?

I like how they mention training our perceptive powers. Life in this system can be easier if we train daily... and it can actually be a fun thing to do! Shopping for modest and inexpensive clothing can be fun, especially trying to do so to glorify Jehovah. All aspects of our life can be considered training.. it's kind of exciting - being in Jehovah's army. Constantly training. Facing battle every day. Awaiting the Great Day when our training can, not end, but reach a higher level. A perfect level. Just something to think about
