Extension of classroom streaming setup demo and testing
The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), in cooperation with the Information and Communication Technologies Office (ICT), is extending the period for teachers to see and test the classroom streaming setup for AY 2022-23. Faculty members who would like to see and test their laptops with the setup can choose a time slot from 9:00 am to 12 noon and 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm any day during the period of August 1 (Monday) to August 6 (Saturday) at the ICT Office at the APEC Communications Building (ACB) Roof Deck. You can access the sign-up sheet here.
IMPORTANT: Faculty members planning to test the setup are advised to download the camera driver (OBSBOT Tiny Cam) here and Microsoft Teams here and have them installed beforehand. In case you have never activated your Microsoft Office 365 license, please access this article from the ICT Knowledge Base.
You may also test other devices and/or paraphernalia that you typically use in synchronous sessions, e.g., tablet, phone, earphones, etc. Lastly, while the setup is more suited with Zoom and MS Teams, you may also test it using Google Meet to see the configuration differences and find out what might work better for you.
