Getting started
All the Audio-Visual (AV) equipment is powered on and controlled via the AV Panel found on the lectern, so will need to be powered on.
Presenting
On the AV Panel you can select the source you wish to present from.
University PC
If you have a University account, use this PC and log in using your University account and password.
Once logged in, you can sign into MS Teams, Zoom, and Outlook accounts as usual, although you may need to verify your account with Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) details.
The University PC comes pre-installed with an extensive range of applications, however, if you require any additional apps then please contact the CSCS Service Desk, see contact details below.
The microphone and camera are available when logged in to the University PC and can be managed via the AV Panel on the lectern.
If you would like to use a USB stick, then you will still need to log in and use one of the USB ports on the front of the PC. Please ensure that it is safe/clear of virus' before plugging it in.
If you do not have a University, or a NHS account:
You can still use the University PC and log in using the “room account”; the username and password for the “room account” can be found on the lectern in each room.
We highly recommend only using web-based apps when using the “room account” as it is shared account. You should always log out of any system you have used before logging off the PC.
NHS PC
If you have a NHS account, use this PC and login using your NHS account and password.
The microphone and camera are not available when logged in to the NHS PC and cannot be managed via the Touch Panel on the lectern.
NHS PCs are not available in meeting rooms, but are available in seminar rooms and lecture theatres.
Laptop HDMI
If you have brought your own laptop and wish to connect it to the Audio Visual equipment, via a HDMI cable, use this option.
Connecting your laptop via HDMI cable is available in all rooms and would highly recommend using HDMI connections wherever possible.
Laptop VGA
If you have brought your own laptop and wish to connect it to the Audio Visual equipment, via a VGA cable, use this option.
Connecting your laptop via VGA cable is available in all rooms.
Microphones and voice amplification
If you need help with amplifying your voice, microphones are available for voice amplification, either using lapel or handheld microphones which are available on request from the custodians on Reception.
Microphone volumes are controlled automatically, so a normal speaking volume should be what your aiming for.
Wi-Fi availability
If you wish to use your laptop, there are no wired network connections available in our rooms, so you will need to use one of the two wireless networks available in the Clinical School building:
UniOfCam-Guest - available for anyone to use. Find UniOfCam-Guest under your device WiFi Settings and then following the prompts to register.
Eduroam - is available to University staff, but must be set up in advance, so should then connect automatically in the building.
When you are finished
The computers will not automatically log you out after a certain amount of time, so it is important that you remember to log out of any application or system you have used and then log out of the PC.
Once you have logged out, on the AV Panel, select “Power Off System”.
Remember to take your adaptors and memory sticks with you, but leave ours behind for others to use.
