The use of Logitech Capture to get up and running quickly will also be discussed. The use of other virtual meeting and presenting platforms such as MS Teams will also be mentioned.

Novice lightboard users or anyone primarily interested in the equipment setup is encouraged to attend the event in-person. In-person attendance is also suggested for anyone interested in learning about hybrid presenting. More experienced users may prefer the convenience of virtual attendance.
