Latest headlines: Scott Tiner on how Google Meet’s Adaptive Audio offering could be a game-changer for education, plus news from Extron, Epson and more

rAVe Education Edition

Hi #AVtweeps! I’m writing this in between panic sessions of trying to procure Sabrina Carpenter tickets. I miss the days of yore when you could just log into Ticketmaster at your leisure and grab a couple of tickets and keep it moving. Every time I have tried to get tickets to ANYTHING over the past year, I feel like I have been preparing for battle. Anyway, that’s not what this newsletter is about. I just wanted to complain.


Within this week’s newsletter, Scott Tiner writes about something he saw via product video at ISE 2025 — Google Meet’s Adaptive Audio. Gary and I also gushed over this and talked about it during rePLAY ISE 2025 (and also gave it an award!) but Scott in particular writes about how this could really be great for seamless learning in the classroom.


I hope you enjoy — and of course there are also plenty of new product stories from the likes of Vivitek, Viking, Extron, AVPro Edge, Epson and more.
