Setting Up Meetings in the Conference Room

Initial Setup

Make sure the computer is on. Log on to the BRIDGE Lab Meetings profile with the standard password. From here, you can log into Teams or access any other feature you need for your meeting.

Turn the TV on and switch the input to 3 by hitting the Home button, then scrolling over to the inputs. If the screen says something like "Detecting input", just click "Cancel"; this should cause the TV to detect the computer.

Lab Meetings

All materials that need to be shared in the lab meeting should be collected in the corresponding meeting date folder on Teams. Once you log into Teams, download the entire folder, unzip it, and pull up any materials that need to be shared in the meeting.

Join the "Diffusion Lab Meeting" on Teams and be sure to share the screen of the TV. This is where all presentation materials will go.

Troubleshooting

If the keyboard, mouse, and/or TV are not working as expected, check to make sure that all USB inputs are set up as expected on the computer.

Sometimes other people who use the conference room with move or rearrange our setup without putting it back the way that it was.

The keyboard requires a USB dongle that looks like this, but with "uhuru" written on the top, instead of "Logitech"):

This dongle is sometimes moved to the other, small computer with no display on the right of the equipment table. Simply move it to our computer.

The mouse may be disconnected from the Mac or dead. If this is the case, you can use the wired mouse or try charging the Mac mouse.

The TV should be connected to a computer by an HDMI cord that goes from the Input 3 slot on the TV over to an HDMI-to-USB adapter with a blue HDMI input. The USB end of the adapter should be plugged into the Mac. Make sure this cord layout is correct.
