Multiple participants spent the opening portion of the session troubleshooting microphones, speaker routing and livestream audio. The Moderator repeatedly tested levels and stated, "It's just not loud enough here," while technicians and staff worked through input channels and camera cuts that were routing audio differently to the YouTube livestream and in-room speakers.
Speakers described the livestream as routing to a "direct connect" and noted a brief delay. One participant said, "It's like a five second delay, but yeah, it is coming through," confirming that audio was audible on the live stream even as in-room monitoring required further adjustment. After the adjustments, participants confirmed the microphones were "very clear, very robust," and the meeting moved on; the transcript contains no recorded votes or formal agenda actions during the audio troubleshooting period.
