Church Meetings Overview
Technology Specialists help ensure Church meetings run smoothly by preparing and supporting the technology needed by leaders, teachers, and participants. Careful planning, testing, and troubleshooting can reduce distractions and help maintain a positive meeting experience.
As you prepare for meetings, coordinate with leaders and teachers to understand their technology needs and determine which rooms will be used. Because technology capabilities vary by room, advance planning helps ensure the appropriate equipment is available and functioning properly.
Note: Encourage presenters to download media before the meeting. Meetinghouse internet connectivity should not be relied upon for streaming media during meetings.
Technology may be used in a variety of meetings, including sacrament meetings, conferences, baptisms, funerals, classes, devotionals, interviews, and other Church events.

- Set up video displays for presentations and media playback
- Configure mobile device or computer connections
