DRAFT STATE. Zoom recording rough sketch is in TASK0026741.  

Overview

Welcome to the Practice Presentation Room!  The following method describes ecording 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. 

For the method described in this article:

  • You will require either 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 Video Output (if presenting on the TV)

If your laptop does not have these particular I/O ports, you may require adapters. 
Note that the laptops available for checkout at the Circulation Desk meet the above requirements.

Connecting to the Webcam 

If you wish to record your presentation for later review, you can use Zoom to do so.

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. Make sure the laptop has a working internet connection.
  2. Connect the laptop to the podium's USB cable (blue).  When you do this, you should see the webcam lens begin to move and center itself.
  3. Drivers for the camera should automatically download and install.  

Connecting to the Television (optional)

You can duplicate your laptop's display to the Television to present materials to your audience.  To do so,

  1. Connect the laptop to the the podium's HDMI cable (black). 
  2. Turn on the TV (controls are on the right-hand side of the television).

You should now see your laptop's screen duplicated on the TV.  

Troubleshooting:

  • Make sure the TV's input is set to HDMI 3 (Input button is also on right-hand side)
  • Make sure the TV's HDMI input cable has not been disconnected from the side
  • You may need to configure your laptop to use the additional display.  For circulation laptops, hold the Windows Key while pressing "P" to cycle through display options, stopping at "Duplicate Display".


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)
