Audio Settings:

Within the classrooms, these are the appropriate selections for audio.  These should be preset. 

If you have audio problems, please check these Zoom settings.

If audio is still not working, please use the classroom control panel.  Audio follows the last “pick & poke” action you took.  If you used “pick & poke” to blank one of the projectors, that will also mute the audio.  To enable audio, “pick & poke” a monitor to one of the projectors or the confidence monitor.

 Security Settings

To avoid these disruptions during your lecture we recommend the following security settings:

• Disable – Share Screen. You can change this setting when you want them to share.  Disabling screen share will prevent surprises.

• Disable - Rename Themselves. Prevent anonymous participants.

• Disable - Unmute Themselves.  You can enable this at an appropriate point in the class session.  This setting is recommended primarily to ensure a good recording.  The video displayed in Zoom will follow the last speaker.  If you are using the classroom camera to capture the whiteboard, the recording will be interrupted by every cough, squeak or paper tussling by class participants which will blank the image of the whiteboard.

Participants Settings

• Enable - Mute participants on Entry    

• Disable – Allow Participants to Unmute Themselves.  Again, this is to prevent noise from disrupting the recording.

 Chat Settings:

We have administratively set restrictions so that participants cannot send messages to each other but allow them to send chat messages that are seen by all.  If you wish to restrict this further, you may want to restrict students to send chat only to yourself (Host Only)

Sharing Computer Sound:

 If you are playing a video or need the participants to hear other sounds from your computer, Enable – Share Computer Sound

To utilize the DocCam for the Zoom session, you will need to change the source of the video feed. This is done through the Zoom interface.

• Click the up arrow next to the Video icon in Zoom.

• Select HoverCam

If you need to alternate the view between the classroom camera and the Hovercam, you will need to switch back and forth between AV Bridge (classroom cameras) and the Hovercam.

Note: This application is only available in BLC classrooms. This is not a synchronous tool. Students will not be able to attend the live class. This solution is meant to record the class and make it available immediately after.

  • Make sure all microphones are on and the volume is raised. Use the speaker buttons in each microphone category to control settings. Make sure the "mute" option is not selected. If you see red color in the square it means that microphone is disabled. In the picture below, wireless mics are disabled. Podium and Ceiling mics are enabled.

Input Settings

There are multiple options and choices for selecting recording inputs. You may configure up to four devices, screen or camera, as inputs. In the Kaltura Lecture Capture Home Page, the default selection is a camera as the Primary Video and the screen as the Secondary Video. You can use the settings to configure the quality of recording, or choose a different recording input. You can either remove inputs completely or disable them for a specific recording by clicking on the input icon.

By default, all inputs are configured to the highest quality available, so you can just start recording. If you would like to change any of the settings for the camera, screen or audio, please use the following information to modify the configuration settings.

Check Your Audio Settings

1. Run a quick audio test by saying your name or welcoming your students to the class as you would during your lecture. Make sure the green bars, in the Audio section of the screen, move up and down and are at high levels. 

2. If bars don't show, are low, or don't change as you speak, return to the touch panel audio tab.

Check Camera Settings

1. Make sure you can see the video from the room in the Primary Input area (left side of the screen). 

2. If you don't see an image, return to the touch panel camera tab.

Completing and uploading video recording

If you want to complete the recording, make sure you have entered the title of the recording and your myid in the User Name field.

2. As a default, your videos will be saved and uploaded the Kaltura's server after you stop and end your recording session. If prompted, do not select Delete or X to delete your entry.

Saving and Uploading your Recording

1. After you “Stop” recording, the following message is displayed.

2. The process of uploading your recording is seamless. The following message is displayed: “The final message that your recording was saved successfully.”

3. Your recording is automatically uploaded to your Kaltura account (to the user specified in the “User ID” field in the recording details screen).

4. Upload is done in the background regardless of the user that is logged in. After you save your recording, you can start a new one or log off and the recording will continue to upload.

Attendance groups for Fall 2020 will be up to instructors to assign. However, some units may decide to assign en masse. One tool to assist in the management of these groups is the eLC groups tool. Groups can be set to self-enroll, for example. Communication and resources with these groups can be shared via the groups discussion board. Also, see this resource on sign-up sheets in eLC.
