Portable Video Conference Facilities

Media Services have the ability to support your meeting should the numbers attending exceed those specified for our fixed meeting spaces.

We have a number of solutions for meetings outside of our dedicated spaces including:

  • For up to 60 attendees in Manchester using the 'push to talk' delegate microphones
  • Our ‘always on’ microphone system for meetings of up to 40 people.
  • For video conferences in lecture theatres or teaching spaces we can provide you with a lapel mic for the speaker and handheld mic for audience questions.
  • If you wish to do a video conference from your own PC or small office you can loan a small webcam and speakerphone system from the Media Services Office located on the 2nd floor of HBS. To loan these items please email mediaservices@manchester.ac.uk


Please note: when booking any equipment for larger meetings please contact us at least 1 week in advance in order for us to perform a site visit along with arranging for the availability of hardware and technicians.

There will be an hourly charge for technician time for the set up and pack down of portable VC equipment. See FAQs for more details.

To book any of these facilities please email mediaservicesvc@manchester.ac.uk
