Future Hyflex Rooms 

A list of proposed additional spaces to be completed in Summer 2023

ZOOM SETTINGS

Below are the settings for Zoom to utilize the camera and mic in the room. This is on a "per user" basis (each individual who logs in must set it up for themselves) but you should only need to set it up once per semester.

Camera

Click the up arrow next to the camera icon and select "Video settings". Change the following:

• select the camera from the list above
• Open camera options and select "HD" and make sure "Mirror my video" IS NOT selected

Microphone

Click the up arrow next to the microphone icon and select "Video settings". Change the following:

• select the Microphone from the list above

Speakers

Click the up arrow next to the microphone icon and make sure "Dell P2418HT" or "HDMI splitter" is selected as the speaker. You may need to run the "speaker & microphone" test in zoom - see "Troubleshooting" below.

 

INSTRUCTIONS

 

Touchpanel Control

Each room is equipped with a touchpanel that controls the camera system. Click the "camera controls" button on the touchpanel and utilize the onscreen buttons to control the camera.

Tracking

Enable the "auto-track" function of the camera to have it automatically follow you as you walk around the room. (currently you cannot track in 60-180 Griffin Gate)

Preset

Each camera has 4 pre-determined "views" that can be triggered via the preset buttons. These correspond to:

1. Closeup of Instructor Station
2. Wide view of the instructor station
3. Closeup of a whiteboard section
4. Wide view of the whiteboard

Manual Control

You can also manually move the camera and zoom in/out as needed.

 

Custom Zoom Features

Document Camera

Each room is equipped with a USB document camera that can be displayed within zoom.

1. Physically turn on the Document camera (button on top)
2. In zoom, click the up arrow next to the camera icon and select the "lumens" document camera as the video. It may take a minute to appear after turning on. Control the zoom/focus from the physical buttons on the camera itself.

Dual cameras

You can show 2 cameras in zoom at once (Doc Cam and Room Cam)

1. Select the "primary camera" (from the table above) to display as your video
2. Click "share" and then the "advanced" tab on top of the share window. Select "content from 2nd camera". If the document camera does not show, press "Switch camera" in the upper left until video appears (make sure it is turned on first).

Remote/In-person Mixed groups

The only way to pair a remote and in-person student within the same group is to have the in-person student use a personal device (laptop, phone) to join the Zoom meeting. You can then place them both in the same meeting room. NOTE: The in-person student must have their microphone and speakers muted anytime they are not in a meeting room, or their device will cause feedback.
