	# In August of 2021, the Information and Communication Services department (ICS) sent notice to local units that the current meetinghouse webcast (MHW) system would be decommissioned ~~in January 2022, and completely shut down~~ in July 2022. Units have until July 2022 to transition from Meetinghouse Webcast to Zoom but have been encouraged to make the change as early as possible. These guidelines should help you answer questions about and respond to requests for new and updated technologies related to this change.		== In August of 2021, the Information and Communication Services department (ICS) sent notice to local units that the current meetinghouse webcast (MHW) system would be decommissioned in July 2022.

It works well with voice and speech but struggles with the music portion of the broadcast. Purchase of 1 device is $18.50 and is needed to broadcast. In the Zoom Application, there is a little speaker button at the top, and when it is tapped, the meeting would switch from using the Bluetooth audio to the phone audio. The phone audio (speaker + mic) might be good for music.
