Once the room has been turned on and you have set the room to the Zoom input, you’ll be able to join and manage Zoom meetings via the iPad controller. This iPad should be located in the charging cradle on top of the equipment rack, or on the table near the room control touch panel. Please be sure to replace the iPad in the charging cradle when you’re finished with your meeting!

NOTES:

The SOE Zoom room are set to join a Zoom meeting as host for any meeting that was created by a School of Education faculty or staff member.

For users outside the faculty and staff of the School of Education (including students), you will need to take one of the following actions to connecting SOE Zoom rooms to an existing meeting:

• Enabled the setting to “Enable join before host” within the Zoom meeting settings for the meeting. This will allow the room to connect to the Zoom meeting as a participant prior to the host starting a meeting.
• On another device (computer, mobile device), log in to Zoom and start the meeting as the host. Then connect the SOE Zoom Room using the Zoom Meeting ID. The Zoom Room will join the meeting as a participant. If you would like the Zoom room to have the role of meeting host, on the device used to start the meeting, you will need to go to the meeting participant list, choose the Zoom Room and select “Make Host” in the options to the right of the name in the participant list. After the Zoom Room is made the host, you can leave the meeting on the device that was used to start the meeting.

Once you are in a meeting, the iPad enables you to control the meeting:

• Mute Microphone: Enables you to mute the room microphones so that remote participants cannot hear you
• Stop/Share Video: Enables you to toggle on/off whether the room camera video is shared with remote participants
• Share Content or Camera: See Zoom: Sharing Content or Camera with a Zoom Room Meeting
• Change View: Enables you to switch between various views of the meeting participant webcams
• Camera Control: Enables control of the in room web cam so you can pan/tilt/zoom
• Host Controls: The following controls are only enabled if the Zoom Room is set as the host. (See note in “Starting or Joining a Meeting section on how to ensure the room is a host.)
  • Manage Participants: Allows you to manage audio and video for meeting participants
  • Invite: Enables you to invite additional participants
  • Start Recording: Enables you to record the meeting

Zoom Room shows either webcam and/or microphone is unavailable.

To resolve, follow these steps in sequential order:

1. Power cycle the room
   • Turn the room technology off via the red power button on the touch panel next to the light switches
   • Wait 30 seconds
   • Turn the room back on, and switch back to the Zoom input
2. If still unavailable, power cycle the equipment rack
   • Turn the room technology off via the red power button on the touch panel next to the light switches
   • Ensure you’ve powered the room technology off first!
   • Unplug the equipment rack in the front corner of the room from the wall
   • Wait 30 seconds
   • Plug the equipment rack back in
   • Turn the room back on, and switch back to the Zoom input

2. Toggle Mic/Cam connection off of Zoom to PC or USB and back to Zoom
