This article covers the following scenarios:

  • Displaying a gallery view of remote participants on the 2nd projection screen in multi-projection classrooms.
  • Displaying instructor webcam in rooms with built-in Zoom capabilities.
  • Scenarios where an in-classroom participant wants to share content from a secondary device that contains audio (e.g. a web video).

  • Displaying Remote Participants on a 2nd Screen

    Requirements

    • Dual-projection classroom
    • Use of an instructor-provided (or TA-provided) laptop in addition to the use of the classroom podium computer
    Pro-tip: Prevent Audio Feedback!
    To prevent audio feedback from coming out of the classroom sound system, only join Zoom audio from one computer!

    Classroom Setup Instructions

    1. Log into the podium computer using your WPI username and password.
    2. Launch the Zoom desktop application and access your meeting. If using a Zoom-ready classroom, make sure you select the correct microphone, video, and speaker sources.
    3. Power on the classroom AV system and source the podium computer to one of the projectors.
    4. From the instructor or TA-provided laptop, launch the Zoom desktop application and access your meeting. 
    5. Connect the instructor or TA-provided laptop to the AV system using the in-room laptop cables and any required adapters your device requires.
    6. Source the instructor or TA-provided laptop to the the other projector (not used in Step 3).
    7. From the device that will be displaying content (e.g. a PPT presentation), initiate the screenshare session. 
    8. From the device that will be displaying remote participants, select View Options > Side-by-side Mode. You can then drag the slider between the content and the participant video view to shrink the size of the screenshare session such that the gallery view of participants takes up the screen.
    From the computer that is NOT screensharing, select View Options > Side-by-side Mode. (image courtesy of support.zoom.us)
    Hover your pointer over the boundary between the shared screen and participants' video until your pointer changes to a double arrow and you see a grey line separating both views. Click and drag the separator to increase the participant video gallery view. (image courtesy of support.zoom.us)

  • Displaying Instructor Webcam in Rooms with Built-in Zoom Capabilities

    Requirements

    • Instructor-provided laptop in addition to the use of the classroom podium computer
    • Logitech MeetUp Classroom or Zoom-ready Classroom (see Related Articles)
    Pro-tip: Prevent Audio Feedback!
    To prevent audio feedback from coming out of the classroom sound system, only join Zoom audio from one computer!

    Classroom Setup Instructions

    2. Launch the Zoom desktop application and access your meeting. Make sure you select the correct microphone, video, and speaker sources.

    4. From the instructor-provided laptop, launch the Zoom desktop application and access your meeting. Do not join the meeting audio!
