DRAFT STATE. Zoom recording rough sketch is in TASK0026741.  

Overview

Welcome to the Practice Presentation Room!  The following details a method for recording your presentation for later review using a laptop and freely available software such as Zoom.  Zoom is teleconferencing and collaboration software that is available at the "Pro" account level to all UCSB students and staff with UCSB NetIDs. 

For the method described in this article:

  • You will require a laptop checked out from the Library Circulation Desk, or a personal laptop on which you have administrative rights.
  • 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.

I) Initial Setup

Basic Requirements

Your laptop will require the following:

  • USB / USB-A (input for the webcam)
  • HDMI Output (for the TV)

If your laptop does not have these particular I/O ports, you will require adapters. 
Note that the laptops available for checkout at the Circulation Desk do have both USB and HDMI ports.

Connecting to the Television

  1. Connect your laptop to the TV via the podium's HDMI cable.
  2. Turn on the TV (controls are on the right-hand side of the television)
  3. Ensure that input is set to information needed.  

You should at this point see your laptop's screen duplicated on the TV.  

Connecting the Webcam

This room is equipped with a Logitech Meetup Camera mounted on the wall opposite the presentation space. Please do not disconnect cords at the webcam itself, nor power it off.
There is a USB port for connection purposes near the presenter's podium.


  1. Connect your laptop to the podium's USB cable (blue).
  2. Those with Personal Laptops:  your device will likely need to install drivers for the Meetup Cam.  
  3. If drivers failed to install automatically:

II) Prepare to Record

  1. Using your preferred browser, go to ucsb.zoom.us
  2. Choose "Host a Zoom Meeting"
  3. Authenticate using your UCSB NetID.
  4. Follow the instructions to download and launch Zoom (in many cases this will happen automatically)
