At a press conference in NRW, the technology wanted to be completely different from the participants.
The mics were off - or were they on?
In any case, the audience suddenly got more private impressions than expected.
At a
press conference
in
NRW
, something went wrong with the sound.
Instead of climate policy, the discussion suddenly turned to private experiences.
The ministers apparently did not notice that they had long been
connected
live
.
Düsseldorf - micros on?
Micros off?
Nobody was so sure
about that at a
press conference
in
NRW
.
Actually, the discussion should revolve around the amendment of the Climate Protection Act and the new Climate Adaptation Act.
Instead, however, the audience got unexpected samples of the
private talks between
the
ministers
.
NRW: Breakdown at the press conference - ministers chat from the sewing box and do not even notice the faux pas
Technology: It doesn't always want what you want.
And so it was the
state government
at the
press conference of
the black and yellow
NRW
cabinet.
While Economics and Energy Minister Prof. Dr.
Andreas Pinkwart and Environment Minister Ursula Heinen-Esser talked about the climate protection goals, but one probably heard at first: nothing.
Only the ministers' lips moved.
The ministry has now
deleted the
posts without sound on
.
The
live stream
, which was supposed to be broadcast in the social networks, started again a short time later.
And while the tech tried to fix the problem and figure out whether the
press conference
needed to be repeated, the
ministers
apparently had a lot to say.
They stood behind their desks and talked.
What they didn't know: Not only was the image transmitted, the
sound
was back and easy to understand.
NRW: Breakdown at the press conference - Minister raves with the microphone switched on and notices the problem too late
“I did hybrid
events
, they were just great, better than some face-to-face events,” you hear
Heinen-Esser
say first
on the
live
stream.
Fortunately for the two
politicians,
things didn't
turn out to be completely private
.
They talked about past events during
Corona
.
The environment minister was visibly enthusiastic about the digitization and hybrid events.
These were introduced especially during the
Corona crisis
and represent a mixture of face-to-face guests and online connections. “I'll keep that for myself afterwards,” she says in the video and
raves about
an agricultural event: “There were 650 farmers with it.
Madness!"
But while her
Dr.
Andreas Pinkwart
still answers, the minister suddenly looks at the cell phone and the
breakdown
is noticed.
“We can be heard.
Micro is on, ”she announces.
“I'm just getting the message here.” But the two take it with humor.
"Oh god, we both talk about digitization," jokes Heinen-Esser.
“At least you heard that,” laughs Pinkwart, who is also Minister for Digitization, of all things.
A participant from the off puts it in a nutshell: “This is how the highlights are produced.” And such small
mishaps
do not only happen at the national level.
Even one or the other minister in the Bundestag makes one or
two faux pas
- also in our neighboring country Austria.
