Our Recommended Use Case
To schedule meetings ahead of time for students and for ease of content sharing during your meeting, we recommend using your personal SPU Zoom account to start the meeting on the podium PC or your SPU laptop and simply inviting the Zoom Room to co-host.
To Get Started: simply touch the Logitech Tap touchscreen, unlock it with passcode: 778338 (SPUEDU on the keypad), and on your main Zoom device (podium PC or laptop), invite the relevant Zoom Room account after you have started the meeting. Then accept the meeting on the unlocked touchscreen.
svc_zoomroom1@spu.edu for DLMH118, svc_zoomroom2@spu.edu for CREM202 in the Zoom Rooms tab of the invite pop-up.
The name of the Zoom Room account is also listed on the Tap touchscreen if you unlock the device > Settings > look under Room Name
Make sure to make the Zoom Room account a co-host to control more directly from the touchscreen.
To Share Content: Share content directly from your device running the meeting.
By sharing content directly as a host or participant, the remote students can see the content on their end, and you have the option to display a Gallery/Dynamic view of remote users on the TV by selecting View on the touchscreen controller and selecting Gallery/Dynamic view.
If you use the Share Content Sharing Key from the touch panel, your shared content will also display to the TV and will gray out the options to select a Gallery/Dynamic view of remote users. Thus, if your goal is to keep your remote students visual on the TV, you must share content as described above. If your in-person students want to share content, they too will want to join as a participant instead of using the Sharing Key directly.
To display your content to the in-person students too, make sure to use the classroom PC or plug in your laptop to the HDMI and turn on the projector.
To Invite Users: If you didn’t invite all the users ahead of time when scheduling the meeting, you can invite them directly from the device running the meeting, or from the touchscreen (if the Zoom Room account is joined as co-host) in the Invite section > select SPU contacts under the Contacts tab or email the Zoom link directly under the Email tab.
Other: Make sure to go to View > turn off Mirror Effect to ensure that the remote users won’t see any of your whiteboard writing as backward

View: you can see the Speaker, Thumbnail, Gallery, and Dynamic views.
Dynamic view: “Viewers will see video frames shift dynamically in real-time as participants raise their hands or begin speaking, so colleagues know where to focus their attention.”
Switch Camera (This only applies to DLMH 118): Switch to the tabletop PTZ camera to get a view of the whiteboard and the speaker.
As this camera doesn’t have the option to auto-track, use the included remote to adjust the camera view as needed.
Camera Controls: you can use Manual controls set the camera’s view, use Speaker-Focus, or Auto-Frame groups of people.
Record: this option has been restricted on the Zoom Room account as it is a shared account in the classroom. To record meetings, use your personal device that is running the meeting as a host or joined as a co-host.
End: End Meeting for All or Leave the meeting with the Zoom Room account

Alternative Way to Run Your Zoom Meeting

To Get Started: simply touch the Logitech Tap touchscreen, unlock it with passcode: 778338 (SPUEDU on the keypad), and select Start Meeting.
To Invite Users: select Invite and under the Contacts tab, type in users' emails if they have an SPU email, or send them a direct link via email under the Email tab.
You can also pull up the Meeting Information (Meeting ID, Passcode, Dial #, etc.) if you select the green shield with a checkmark on the main meeting menu.
To Share Content: you can select the Share Content button, which will provide the Sharing Key for the Zoom desktop application, as well as the browser URL for content sharing if you are using a webpage on the device you are sharing content with. You can share content with your laptop, iPhone/iPad, or the classroom PC.
To display your content to the in-person students too, make sure to use the classroom PC or plug in your laptop to the HDMI and turn on the projector.
