To use these, select ‘ON’ and ‘PC’ on the white control panel and the short video will walk you through how to select the required settings for your chosen video teaching tool (Zoom or Teams). 

Note: when selecting the camera/mic options in these venues, you should select “Asus BE/C6 webcam series” from the menu offered.

If using Zoom and recording your lecture, select "Record to the Cloud". 

Extending the screen

In Extend Mode the external display is treated as a separate screen so that you can have a different windows open on the projector and desktop.  This will enable you to use Presenter mode in Powerpoint, and see your speaker's notes.

The current status of the upgrades for each venue can be checked here.
