Option 2 -Ability to plug the conference room audio system output into a computer microphone jack and have it broadcast to participants in the room. The microphone jack on the computer is the standard 2.5mm jack, so we would need to have a cord that could connect the output type from the hotel sound system to that 2.5mm microphone jack on the computer, in order for remote participants to hear the audio clearly. It is preferable to have both options available so that if there is a problem with one, we could use the other. Otherwise option 1 is preferred. It would also be ideal to be able to test the audio/AV connection in advance of the meeting to make sure things are working correctly and know if there's any specific equipment we need. Onsite AV support is requested for Monday through Thursday.
