It also doesn't look good that they put a clip from said virtual event where its clear they couldn't kick out of Bluetooth headset mode and proceed to have all your attendees listen to them in glorious 1990s PCM quality.
I’m the author. I guess that was sort of my point: as long as I got what turned out to be the IMPORTANT stuff right, nobody really cared about the audio. I mean something like 80% of our attendees were multiple attendees!
In that SPECIFIC use case remember: it was a Zoom call. So with a good headset and a quiet room I was already top 20%, audio-wise.
Once you get that far, what you have to say and how you say it are WAY more important than whether you can rock a little extra baritone.
This is a sentiment that reads well but isn’t really true. Listening to bad audio is very fatiguing for people and it asks much more of them than good audio does, if you desire their attention.
Video doesn’t matter as much. It’s very nice to have but you can get by with poor video. People can mentally fill in the blanks. But audio is not negotiable; audio quality is directly representative of your respect for your audience.
