Faculty, staff and students may conduct video calls in classrooms using the built in computer or their laptop. To see a list of UConn classrooms and their capabilities, visit classrooms.uconn.edu.
Rooms without a camera will only list "Audio & Content" because you are able to use a microphone and screen-share in a conference call.
Webex, Teams and Zoom
Web conference calls, such as Webex, Teams, Zoom, Skype, etc. are handled by a computer. Programs such as these can be used in classrooms from a personal device or the classroom computer. Please note that only Webex and Teams are centrally supported at the University. Learn how to make these calls in classrooms by reviewing this guide: Web Conferencing in a UConn Room.
Classroom Cameras
UConn classrooms will have up to 2 room cameras. To see a list of UConn classrooms and their capabilities, visit http://classrooms.uconn.edu .
Single Camera
Some rooms have a single camera that faces the instructor. This allows remote participants to see the instructor and the front of the room.
Dual Camera
The instructor has the option to show either the front of the room or the audience when there are two cameras in the room.
Document Camera
The document camera can be sent into the web call in order to show your participants what is on the teaching station.
Note that this camera cannot be used to view the classroom; twisting the arm may break it.
Classroom Microphones
UConn classrooms will have at least one microphone. The microphone(s) is sent to the computer to be used with a video call.
Some classrooms have microphones built into the ceiling. If you have questions on microphone availability in your room, please reach out to techsupport@uconn.edu.
