Although they can be intimidating, using standards can help manage equipment, identify essential items to spend the budget on, and keep the campus functioning. In the pro AV market, standards apply mostly to applications like higher ed, corporate, and government. While the industry has content and best practices for live events and other applications, digital signage and trade associations have a separate universe and specific standards.Justin also discuss the latest news in the tech industry, from the opposition of messaging apps like WhatsApp and Signal to the UK government's new online safety bill to Facebook's legal action settlement.
