What do we say when someone requests a microphone for a standard meeting room (not Senate Chambers)?

We don’t have built-in microphones for our meeting rooms, but the space is small enough they aren’t usually needed. Follow up to see why they ask and connect them with James Cho if the request is still relevant

What do we tell folks that ask about microphones in the Senate Chambers?

There is a “push to talk” microphone at every table which feed nicely into the computer audio for zoom sessions and/or recording. The sound is not amplified into the room though- forward to James Cho if that concern comes up.
