In-Person Class Recording

* Please note, it is unauthorized and against current Fox/STHM policy to allow students to join your scheduled Zoom session if you are teaching an in-person class (non-hybrid or virtual). The Zoom sessions scheduled for your class are intended for class recordings only.

  • In-person class recordings will be made through Zoom. Below are instructions that will walk you through setting up your sessions for the semester, connecting to Zoom in your classroom, and posting your recordings to Canvas.
  • Prior to the class, instructors must obtain written permission from guest speakers (internal and external), allowing the Zoom session to be recorded and shared.
  • Zoom cloud recordings will be automatically deleted after 120 days

Classroom Podium Controls

Classroom Podium Controls UI

  • Select "Laptop" if you are using a laptop

The options under "Select Video for Web Applications" allows you to select which video source you wish to act as the camera in Zoom.

  • Press "Front Camera" if you want the Zoom participants to see the students in the room.
  • Press "Rear Camera" if you want the Zoom participants to see the presenters at the podium.

Laptop Users Please note that you will need to plug TWO cables into your laptop:

HDMI and USB cable
  • The HDMI cable is needed to display your laptop on the projectors.

It is highly recommended that you be prepared to run the Zoom Mee􀆟ng on the Podium PC, if there are any issues with your Laptop.
