Welcome to the Presentation Practice Room! The following method describes recording your presentation for later review using a laptop and Zoom teleconferencing software. Zoom is available at the "Pro" account level to all UCSB students and staff with UCSB NetIDs at no cost to the end userusers.
For the method described in this articleNotes before we get started:
- You will require a laptop; this can be checked out from the Library Services Desk, or may be a personal laptop on which you have administrative rights may work.
- If you use a Library laptop, we recommend using a personal USB drive (thumb drive) if you wish to retain your recording(s).
- The laptop must meet the following minimum system requirements to use the Logitech Meetup Camera:
- Windows®7, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10
- macOS® 10.10 or higher
- Chrome OS™ Version 29.0.1547.70 and higher
USB 2.0 port (USB 3.0 required for 4K video)
- You will use Zoom to record your presentation, not to present.
- If you have Powerpoint presentations etc. to share with your theoretical attendees, those will be shared independently of the Zoom app.
...
- Please turn the TV off when done.
If you are using a Library laptop, we recommend moving your video to a personal USB Flash drive if you wish to keep it.
Note Privacy Warning:Alert! Laptops checked out from the Services Desk will reset and wipe user files between each user, but only if you power it off or restart windows fully. When you're done and have saved any materials you want to keep to a personal USB Flash Drive, click on the Windows start button and choose either shutdown or restart.
- You can simply disconnect the USB and HDMI cables from your laptop when done.
