Because many AV solutions are large and stationary, shifting the presenter’s focus from one audience to another can be a challenge. IT staff is often tasked with finding a solution. Most attempts to resolve this issue have their own challenges. The most common solutions include:
- Bringing in second lectern so the presenter has a place to stand while addressing the audience (equipment is still behind presenter)
- Leaving the orientation of the equipment as is, causing the presenter to turn their back to the audience or the equipment
- Moving the furniture, which consumes time and puts the valuable AV equipment at risk of being damaged
- Restricting use of the room because there is too much risk and time involved
