Question
How do I use the Zoom to wireless display from my laptop or tablet in a BGSU Classroom?
Answer
This guide will work in all classrooms equipped with a dedicated computer. All general use classrooms should have this setup, though you may need to confirm with your department if you are assigned to teach in a department owned classroom. This method of sharing is not recommended for showing videos.
- Before your class starts, create a Zoom Meeting and make sure you have the meeting information or link ready.
- Using the computer in the classroom, launch the Zoom application and join the meeting you have ready to go.
- You can disable your camera in this meeting to keep things simple.
- Launch the Zoom Meetings App on your laptop or tablet and join the same meeting.
- Mute your device's speakers so that no audio plays back on your device.
- Mute your device's microphone inside of Zoom so that no audio plays back into the room.
- Select the Share button inside of Zoom on your device and then select the content you wish to wireless display.
- When you are finished using your laptop, select stop share on your laptop.
- Select End Meeting from the bottom right corner of the Zoom Application on the classroom computer.
