Hi Magalena, Yes, we have a large Bush TV screen (97cm wide) with built in sound which connects via HDMI cable or USB to a laptop. Its very well used both for blended Quaker events and also increasingly by hirers instead of the cumbersome projector and screen. We've had it a couple of years, it came from Argos I think and cost around £150 as I recall so not a big outlay. It is large but quite light to lift around the building to any of the rooms; hirers need to ask to borrow and I generally move it into the room required in case of any accidents or damage. It connects pretty easily - many hirers manage themselves but if Im around & feeling kind, I help the less confident. The built in sound is loud enough for most uses though it could connect to a PA/speak system if needed. Definitely recommend - its very popular! Hope that helps. Others may have more high tech suggestions but this is budget entry and works very well.

Dear Friends,
Does anyone use a TV monitor in their Meeting Houses that allows you to hook up a laptop to it so that Members are able to remotely log in and attend meetings, to see and hear what is going on.
And it is a system that also allows any hirers to also use it for business meetings and be able to have Zoom & Microsoft Teams Meetings on it as well, so that everyone can see and be heard through the TV monitor that is connected up to the laptop.
We want to get one for our Meeting House in Hammersmith but don't know what to get and were wondering if anyone has such a system that they could recommend, or knows a great techie that could help us, as we're all more at the Luddite end of the scale here!
In friendship,
