The remote general authority is the only reason we used Zoom. We set it up nearly the same way, but had both a monitor aimed at the stand for the presidency and a large TV aimed at the chapel for the other participants. Those who prayed and spoke provided a nice small congretation for each speaker to see and were not asked to sit on the stand.

On Saturday the presiding authority conducted a full-up discussion with stake leaders via a Zoom meeting. On Sunday we sent the Spanish speakers (about 100) to the Zoom link and the rest of the members (about 1000) to the Church webcast system fed by a Zoom webinar.

The hardest part was getting the meetinghouse sound into the Zoom meeting and the Zoom meeting back into the chapel sound so that the stake president and the general authority could chat with each other in real time.

Since Zoom supports translation, that would be a reason to use it for a single pulpit-only stake conference.

Not necessarily. Checkout OBS Ninja. Playing around with it, I'm really impressed.

I'm sure there are alternatives, but given the limited toolset most STSs would know about, it's the only one.

Looks interesting, but it appears to be a private effort. I'm not sure if it will survive promotion here.

Yes, we had some fun with the sound. We did also have TVs facing both ways for a small congregation exactly as you describe. Those praying and their families etc.

Feeding the sound out of the church PA into the laptop line in directly created a delay between the video and audio feeds.

We then routed the chapel PA into the mevo cam audio input, set the mevo up in webcam mode to the laptop which resolved the synchronisation issue.

We then fed the audio output from the laptop into the aux / line in to the chapel PA to bring everything full circle and get audio both ways.

When the laptop was charging it produced some hum/interference which wasn’t audible in the chapel but was to those at home so needed to add a suppression filter between the laptop audio out and the chapel audio aux in.

Worked a treat.
