Most laptops come built-in with cameras and microphones, which can be used to easily capture (record/stream) your lectures/presentations regardless of teaching in a physical classroom to a hybrid in-person/remote audience or recording in a private/office space on your own. If, in addition, you wish to have discussions or group-based work with students, there are a few options. One, fully-remote option is to conduct your session entirely via Zoom using breakout rooms. Alternatively, in a classroom setting with a hybrid audience, you could borrow additional equipment, such as a portable microphone/speaker from the DMS so both in-person and remote students can interact. Placement of the microphone/speaker is most important to best capture audio from anyone who will be interacting during the session. It's possible to do this, as a last resort, by simply placing your laptop in a position that allows its built-in microphone to effectively capture audio from anyone speaking within reasonable distance/loudness/clarity.
