SAAS / Tablet Approach

Audiominutes simplifies the streaming and recording of public meetings. Video and/or audio from meetings can be streamed directly from a laptop or tablet. Meeting events are created on the Audiominutes platform in advance so we know what's planned.

The clerk then starts streaming by pressing the 'Record' button, which toggles the live stream; 'Mute' switches from the live stream to a recorded 'please wait' message; and 'Bleep' replaces the last 2 seconds of audio – just in case.

If appropriate, Audiominutes links to a Committee Management System, so that meeting schedules, agenda items and supporting information can be imported without duplication of effort. A pull-down menu allows listeners to select and jump to the agenda item in which they are most interested, linking to any relevant documents.

Meetings are available for playback from the archive immediately after the live stream ends.
