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

  • Select “PC” if you are using the podium PC
  • 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:

An HDMI cable and a USB cable with a label on it that says 'Laptop Zoom'
  • The HDMI cable is needed to display your laptop on the projectors.
  • The USB cable marked LAPTOP ZOOM is needed if you wish to run Zoom on your laptop.

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.

Using Zoom from the Classroom Podium

  1. Open either the Zoom desktop application or the browser application at https://zoom.temple.edu 
  2. Find your meeting for today’s class in your Upcoming Meetings list, or Schedule a Meeting.
  3. Once you have launched the meeting, you will be prompted to Join with Computer Audio or Test Speaker and Microphone

  4. Select “Test Speaker and Microphone”
    • The correct Speaker should be the option marked as HDMI

      • Each room has slightly different hardware. It will not always be an Extron HDMI

      • Confirm that you can hear the ringtone over the classroom speakers and click “Yes”
      • You may need to adjust the Speaker Volume on the touch panel and make sure the speakers are not muted.
    • The correct Microphone is AV Bridge

      • If you cannot find AV Bridge in the list of options, double check that you have selected the correct “PC to Use” in the “Zoom Controls” on the touch panel
      • Confirm that you can hear your voice over the classroom speakers and click “Yes”
      • You may need to adjust the Microphone Volume on the touch panel and make sure the mics are not muted.

If you clicked “Join with Computer Audio” without testing the microphones, there is a second way to ensure you are using the AV Bridge:

  1. Click on the small carrot (^) next to the “Mute/Unmute” button on the lower left side of the Zoom application.

Check your camera

Once you have joined your meeting, and checked your microphone and speakers, you will want to check your camera.

  1. Just like the Microphones/Speakers, click on the small carrot (^) next to the “Start Video” button on the lower left side of the Zoom application.

    • The correct camera is always named “AV Bridge”

If you need to pause or stop your recording, at any time, the recording controls are on the top left side of the Zoom application.
