The camera/mic signal is sent solely though the USB cable to your laptop. The devices need your laptop’s conferencing program to reach the outside world. ### Using the Technology ![monitor](media://8ad511cb-dbba-4831-b708-a118d0c0af5b) - Tap on a **Source** to have it shown on the monitor. - The USB-C cable will carry your laptop’s image to the screen and charge your laptop if supported. - Tap on **Display On **/ **Off **to control the wall monitor. Tap **Display Mute** to quickly mute or unmute the projector. :warning: Note: Audio is not muted with the Display Mute button. - Tap on **Camera Controls** to control the camera in the room and to mute/unmute the ceiling microphones. - During your use, it will likely be more appropriate to use the microphone mute buttons within the video conferencing program. - The Microphones and Camera are sent to your laptop through the white USB-A cable. This cable must be plugged into your laptop if you want to use the room’s devices during your conference. > ℹ️ The HDMI and USB-C HDMI cables carry your laptop’s image *out *to the projector. The USB-A cable brings the camera and microphones *in *to your laptop. To learn more, visit [https://uconn.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TL/pages/10889560316](https://uconn.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TL/pages/10889560316). The directional pad (D-Pad) will allow you to move/zoom the camera. Once you have the camera in the desired position, you may press and hold one of the **Camera Presets** buttons to save the position/zoom. If you move the camera again, you may simply tap on that preset button to return the camera to the saved orientation. > ℹ️ The Virtual Background feature in web-conferencing programs will not work with this system, as that feature looks for a person (or two) sitting directly in front of the camera. Disable any background effects while connected to this system, and note that your conferencing program may maintain your settings from your previous meeting and enable a background effect for you. ## Audio Inputs/Outputs When you plug the USB-A cable into your laptop, you may see multiple devices appear in your Camera and Microphone choice menu. Be sure to choose **DMP** (Echo Canceling Speakerphone) for your output and the DMP** **Plus for the input. > ✅ Look for **DMP **or **Echo Canceling Speakerphone** for your output (speaker) *and* your input (microphone). > ✅ > ✅ This room sends out an unchanging, appropriate microphone volume level. If your virtual participants are having trouble hearing you, please ask them to turn up their volume. ## Camera Choice Look for **PTZ** in your camera choices to use the room camera instead of your laptop’s internal camera. ## Presenting - If you are presenting without an online audience, you only need to plug in either the full-size HDMI cable or the USB-C cable to have your laptop’s image appear on the monitor. - If you have an online audience, share your presentation in the video conference as you normally do. > ✅ Present in this room the same as you would in your office or at home. Share your presentation into the conference as you would at your desk using the program’s **Share **button. > ✅ > ✅ Remember that this room, as far as your laptop understands, is simply a fancy webcam. Follow your normal procedure on your laptop after plugging in the USB-A cable from the technology rack. > 📝 For Help, call (860) 486-4357 and press 1 to be directed to Classroom Support ## Related Articles > Macro (contentbylabel)
