Zoom Settings
Below are the camera and mic settings for Zoom in these classrooms. These settings are on a "per user" basis -- meaning every individual who logs in must make the initial selections for themselves. Please note, you should only need to set these up once.
Camera Settings
- See available camera views by clicking the chevron ( ^ ) on the Video button:
- Use the desired camera by selecting it in the list
- If the image appears distorted or blurry, click on Video settings... in the same menu
- Verify that HD is enabled, and Mirror my video is disabled:
- If either is not the case, please contact IMS at x7374
Microphone and Speakers
- See available microphone and speaker choices by clicking the chevron ( ^ ) on the Audio button:
- Select the correct microphone by consulting the table on this web page (above)
- Speaker should always be set to either Dell P2418HT or HDMI splitter
- If you cannot hear remote students or they cannot hear you, see Troubleshooting below
Document Camera
- Each room is equipped with a USB document camera that can be displayed within Zoom
- After you've physically powered on the document camera, it should appear as an option
under the Video button chevron ( ^ ) after about a minute:
- Choose Lumens Document Camera, then physically adjust the focus/zoom on the doc cam itself
Usage 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. View Basic Touch Panel Controls here.
Tracking
Enable the "auto-track" function of the camera to have it automatically follow you as you walk around the room.
Preset
Each camera has 4 pre-determined "views" that can be triggered via the preset buttons. These correspond to:
- Closeup of Instructor Station
- Wide view of the instructor station
- Closeup of a whiteboard section
- Wide view of the whiteboard
Manual Control
You can also manually move the camera and zoom in/out as needed.
Special Features
Dual Cameras
You can show 2 cameras in Zoom at once (Document Cam and Room Cam)
- Select the "primary camera" (from the table above) to display as your video
- 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.

Troubleshooting
I can't hear sound from Zoom (speakers)
Remote Participant:
Make sure the participant can hear audio from their computer and Zoom and that their speakers aren't muted. They may wish to play music on Youtube and Test Speaker and Mic on their Zoom to confirm they are hearing audio. Have them do this by clicking the up arrow next to the microphone icon.
Check Your Zoom Settings:
Make sure you have selected the correct mic (noted in the table at the top of this page) by clicking the up arrow next to the microphone icon.
Test Your Mic:
Click the up arrow next to the microphone icon and select Test Speaker & Microphone. A sound will begin playing in Zoom. If the sound doesn't play in the room, click try next device until you hear the sound through the room's speakers. Click Next and do the same process for the microphone.
Camera is Blurry / Image is Backwards
Verify HD video is selected and Mirror my video is not, as explained above. Contact IMS at x7374 if this is not the case.
FAQs
How were these rooms determined?
Campus administration, IMS and Instructional Operations reviewed classroom spaces
with Academic Deans to determine which were the most feasible and would have the greatest
impact.
Can I request a room?
We are happy to meet with you and review the feasibility of adding Hyflex equipment
to your space. That request would then need to be sent to your Dean and campus administration
for consideration or your department would need to fund the project.
What is the capacity/layout of a particular room
Please use the "location search" feature of the Collegenet or reach out to campus "Instructional Operations"
