Tips from our Classroom Techs:
Before your Meeting/Class, it may be helpful to check:
- 1) Does the space have the technology you are needing for your meeting/class?
- 2) Are you logged in as SMART?
- 3) If you are having a guest presenter speak, it would be helpful to ask them if they will be bringing their own device. If so, it would also be helpful to make sure that you have a way to connect their device to the projection system. Will they be able to connect to what is available?
- 4) Will an adapter be needed?
- 5) Make sure the media embedded in the presentation (PowerPoint, Google Slide, etc.) is embedded properly and playing audio.
Issues with displays/podium/projector? Have you tried?
- 1) Checking to see if the “Power” is on?
- 2) If you aren’t getting a display on the monitor, try checking to make sure that the monitor is on, and connected to power.
- 3) If you see your display on one screen and not another, try changing the display settings from “Duplicate” to “Extend these displays”. You can do this by right-clicking on the desktop and choosing “Display Settings”.
- 4) "Googling" change display settings or change audio settings in windows 10 or Mac OSX is a great way to find the most current way to accomplish finding the current settings on a classroom computer.
Before your ZOOM meeting
- 1) Do you have a ZOOM Pro account?
- 2) Have you tested your tech before your meeting?
- 3) Do you have a ceiling mounted camera and speakers?
- 4) Did you receive an invitation via email?
- 5) Are you the moderator/creator of this meeting?
- 6) Do the participants have the necessary tech to participate and a stable connection?
