What’s Available In Most Classrooms
Faculty will have access to Zoom and Panopto on all classroom podium computers where they can launch the software to access these upgrades. On the classroom computer desktop, you will see icons for Zoom/Panopto. Launch the software you want to use and login.

- Updated podium control panel to choose camera shots
Checklists for Hybrid Teaching and/or Recording Your Classes
- Make sure your Canvas course is created before you begin.
- Claim your Panopto account and verify you have Creator access. If you see a Create button, you are a Creator.
- Make sure you have your Zoom session scheduled.
- You must be using the classroom podium in order for the cameras and sound to capture your Zoom meeting.
Different Views of the Classroom
You have 4 fixed camera presets for the Instructor Camera. If you don't want one of the preset camera views you can manually each preset with pan, tilt, and zoom on the control panel. (For example, a whiteboard on the side wall of a classroom.)
The Classroom Camera has an Overall Classroom View (Preset 1).
Instructor Camera Presets:
Switching Cameras on Zoom
Selecting between Classroom Camera and Instructor Camera on the Control Panel is only meant for you to choose what camera you want to control and not to switch cameras on Zoom.
To switch cameras on Zoom, select Alt+N at the same time on the classroom keyboard.
