Remote Education
Remote education rooms are rooms that have camera and microphone inputs into the instructor’s PC for Zoom or other software-based distribution. Many of our classrooms have a permanently installed camera and faculty microphone that tie into the PC in the space. The in-room installed camera and microphones cannot be used through a laptop and the in-room PC must be used.
Starting Zoom in the ClassroomA video explaining the different ways to access your recurring Zoom meetings for your class.
Using your laptop or tablet
If you would like to use a laptop or tablet, we recommend that you use the in-room PC as the primary Zoom computer and you sign into the same Zoom meeting with your laptop or tablet. This will allow you to share the screen of your laptop or tablet while still utilizing the installed in-room camera and microphone systems.
Tabletop Document Camera
This room comes equipped with a Wolfvision tabletop document camera. While this camera can be used by itself by selecting the Doc Cam input on the touch panel and projected to in-room students, this document camera can also be projected to your students through Zoom. These document cameras are connected to the in-room PC via a USB cable and can act as a webcam for Zoom. You simply change your video source to Wolfvision UVZ Visualizer from Zoom. Alternatively, you can also share this document camera image like you would share your screen by using the advanced Share Screen option, "Share 2nd Camera".

Ceiling Mounted Camera
This room is equipped with a ceiling mounted Pan Tilt Zoom camera. You can change the angle of the camera using the touch panel at the podium. There are three primary presets applicable to all rooms with this style of camera.
- The first preset will be the one that focuses on the Podium location.
- The second preset will zoom out and shift slightly from the first preset to capture the podium and nearest whiteboard.
- The third preset will zoom out greatly to cover as much of the front of the room as possible.
