Review this checklist before your studio session:
- Notifications: Put your phone on silent and mute notifications on your laptop or iPad.
- Waiting room: The studio will already be signed into the Zoom meeting at the beginning of your session. Use the Waiting Room feature in Zoom to control when students join the meeting.
- Slide sharing: Plug an HDMI cable in the studio into your laptop to share your slides. (This is similar to how you connect your computer in the classroom.) You do not need to share your slides in Zoom. By default, remote participants will see you and your presentation on a single screen, as if it were being captured by a single camera.
- Zoom display name: A host should update the display name of the studio in Zoom. Otherwise, the display name will be the studio room number.
- Cohost: Before your live online session, select a cohost who can monitor the chat, respond to chat messages, and manage breakout rooms during your live teaching session. To respond to chat messages yourself, you will need to sign into the Zoom meeting on your computer. You will not be able to use your computer to simultaneously manage chat and share your slides.
On the day of your studio session, a technician will let you into the studio. They will make sure the technology is working properly. When you’re ready to start your presentation, the technician will leave the room. They will stay nearby in case you need support during the session.
