Used my Turtle Beach xbox headset once! But wouldnt recommend a headset cause than you cant hear and assist.
If you do go the headset route recommend you hook up the HDMI to the TV so you can sit back and observe

Are they using Google meet? If you have headphones you use for your phone you can have the meet go through your phone instead of the laptop. Could be a solution for now.
I've also used a cheap webcam that has a mic on it. My son never had sn issue with that.

As an educator idk what is happening. As a parent, I want info but the educator side of me is like shit, there really is no info to give anyways lol. Idk who I'm working with. What grade. What platform as far as communication. idk anything besides that I'll be home during all this. |

I was just talking about having to prepare to use 3 platforms. it's gonna be a shitstorm, but adding in additional meeting tools is just gonna amplify the shitstorm |

Hopefully they just settle on one. I'd say stick to google meets since that's what was used last year and I'm sure parents/staff got used to it already but that's way to simple. |
