In 2022, Neath Town Council reached out to CloudyIT to support its move to remote meetings, taking advantage of legislative allowances for virtual sessions in Wales. Their existing system, however, was not designed for a fully integrated remote experience, leaving room for improvement in audio clarity and video quality. 

CloudyIT engineers designed and installed a Logitech Rally system with integrated ceiling microphones, configured to capture crisp audio from every angle while minimising background noise. This configuration enhanced the council’s capacity for remote interactions, providing a high-quality experience for all participants. 

Neath Town Council now has a reliable, sophisticated setup that supports smooth remote meetings and complies with Welsh legislative standards. With enhanced audio and visual clarity, council members and residents can easily follow discussions, boosting engagement and accessibility for the community. 

“Since working with CloudyIT, our virtual meetings have become more inclusive and efficient. The sound quality from the ceiling mics is outstanding, and the seamless integration has made remote meetings a key asset for us.”

Taunton Town Council, a newly established council, recently moved into a dynamic new meeting space. Previously relying on the Owl system, they faced frequent challenges with audio and video quality, limiting the effectiveness of virtual interactions. These technical issues impeded both council operations and resident engagement, creating a need for a high-quality, user-friendly system to support virtual meetings and improve broadcasting quality. 

CloudyIT engineers expertly specified and installed a cutting-edge Logitech Rally Bar system paired with Logitech Sight, seamlessly integrated with three wall-mounted TVs. This robust solution ensured crystal-clear audio and video quality, a significant upgrade from their previous setup. Additionally, they adopted CloudyIT’s GovMeetings platform for comprehensive meeting management and GovAssist AI for an enhanced, interactive virtual experience, allowing councillors and residents to engage efficiently. 

With this new setup, Taunton Town Council achieved a consistent, high-quality virtual meeting and broadcasting experience, fostering greater community participation. The intuitive Logitech Rally Bar and Sight configuration captured every speaker with precision, while the integration with CloudyIT’s GovMeetings and GovAssist enabled streamlined agendas and accurate minutes, optimising council operations. 

“Our new meeting space has been transformed thanks to CloudyIT. The Logitech Rally Bar captures everything perfectly, making it easier for us to engage with our community. CloudyIT’s GovMeetings platform and AI assistance have truly modernised our workflow.”

Sandhurst Town Council previously conducted virtual meetings using a laptop, but the setup frequently fell short, limiting resident engagement due to poor audio and video quality. These challenges hindered the council’s ability to connect effectively with the community and to broadcast meetings reliably. As the council prioritised greater transparency and public involvement, a dependable and professional broadcasting solution became essential. 

CloudyIT assessed the council’s needs and implemented a Logitech Rally Bar system, utilising their existing TV to provide a cost-effective, high-quality setup. This streamlined solution delivered significant audio and video improvements, supporting Standhurst Town Council’s goal of broadcasting meetings directly to YouTube. By employing the Logitech Rally Bar, CloudyIT ensured that the council could present a professional, accessible platform for residents to engage with local government activities. 

The new Logitech Rally Bar solution has transformed Standhust Town Council’s virtual meeting capability, ensuring clear audio and visuals for every participant, whether in-person or viewing remotely. Broadcasting directly to YouTube now fosters greater community participation, transparency, and engagement. The cost-effective approach allowed the council to leverage existing resources while achieving a robust upgrade to their digital meeting infrastructure. 

“Thanks to CloudyIT, our virtual meetings are now much more professional and accessible for residents. The Logitech Rally Bar captures audio and visuals excellently, allowing us to connect more effectively with our community. Moving to YouTube for broadcasts has really opened up our engagement.”
