Default our stake presidency sits on the stand during GC priesthood mtg

they have a monitor that faces them, while the rest of us look at the projected screen above the podium.

Is that how it is done with you all as well?

I think it is done to project the idea that the are presiding locally over the meeting.

The do that in the Marriott center. I remember a few years ago one of them got up and asked everyone leaving before the prayer to sit back down.

President Heap (the one who was slapped by Boyd K Packer in 2004) does this in San Diego. After the session he shares a few reflections on what was said.

Yes, I've seen this before. Personal preference on the part of the leadership, I suppose. Our Stake President sat in the pews with everyone else.

I'm in the same stake now since I got married. I noticed one of the three in the presidency sitting up front at the stake center. My brother went to another building within the stake that has a satellite dish.

So, your session lasts longer? That's less time for ice cream.
