Remote or asynchronous students (Record your Teams Meeting)
Our recommendation is to host a Teams meeting so remote students can participate and so you can record (portions of the class you feel are appropriate) for students studying asynchronously.
- Use available cleaning supplies to disinfect surfaces.
- Connect your laptop to the projector.
- Connect your laptop to the camera. (If in a portable room make sure the cables on the portable video camera are connected to your laptop.)
- If you are in a portable room, put on the lapel microphone or turn on the hand-held microphone.
- Start your Teams meeting.
- Under Device Settings in Teams, select the appropriate speaker, microphone, and camera as indicated in the documentation for your room type. (See above).
- Ask all participants to mute themselves (their microphones in Teams) except when they are speaking. (If in an upgraded room, the room’s microphone should capture the voices of students in the room).
- Ask all in-room participants to turn the volume off on their devices (their speakers); ask remote attendees wear headphones.
- If presenting, share your Desktop (Screen #1) and then start your presentation.
- Start recording the meeting under the ellipsis (More Actions menu) in Teams.
- Conduct class as you have been for the past few weeks.
- Stop the recording of the Teams meeting.
- End the Teams meeting.
- Disconnect your laptop.
