Before Your Class:
In Class Procedure:
Log in to Zoom from podium PC.
Start your Zoom Session for your class
Check the following settings:
Participants Settings
Enable - Mute participants on Entry
Disable – Allow Participants to Unmute Themselves. Again, this is to prevent noise from disrupting the recording.
Sharing Computer Sound:
If you are playing a video or something else with sound from your computer and you need the participants to hear it , then enable “Share Computer Sound”.
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.
Watch the video of the pick & poke interface.
The use case will be familiar as it is likely that you have operated in a similar fashion during the Spring Online pivot.
Use “Share Screen” to provide content visibility to the students.
You can also be more open about allowing students to unmute themselves during the session as the shift in video focus will not disrupt the content you are conveying.
You will utilize “Share Screen” and “Stop Share” throughout your lecture to change the focus to either the computer content or the whiteboard content as needed. You can also change the whiteboards being recorded at any time by choosing between the available presets:
The Student Experience:
During live class session – participants will be able to bring focus and increase size of either their view of the computer shared screen or their view of the camera, as they desire using Zoom features.
Viewing Recording – If you are in “Share Screen Mode” participants will see the shared screen and the camera in a thumbnail view.
Share Screen Mode
Stop Share - To ensure the whiteboard is readable on the recording be sure to “Stop Share” to bring the camera view back as the central focus.
To utilize the DocCam for the Zoom session, you will need to change the source of the video feed and turn off Mirrored Image. Do this 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.
Watch video of switching cameras.
Also select Video Settings which will bring up this inteface:
Deselect “Mirror my video”. This will ensure that the image projected within the classroom is oriented properly for the students in the classroom. Students at a distance will see the Doc Cam image properly regardless of this setting.
