If you need to share content from the document camera to participants in a Zoom session, there are two easy methods.
Using Screen Share
This method allows users to see both the room camera feed and the document camera content simultaneously.
The active source selected on the touch panel must be the Lectern PC.
Once you’ve started your Zoom stream, make sure the video source is set as Room Camera in the bottom left corner of Zoom.
Power on the Document Camera and select the green Share Screen icon at the bottom of your Zoom window.
Next, you’ll be presented with a window to select which screen to share.
On this screen, select the “Advanced” tab to display more possible sources.
Once you reach the Advanced screen shown above, select “Content from 2nd Camera” option on the far right of the screen. This only works if the Document Camera is powered on.
After selecting the camera source you want (in this case the Document Camera), click “Share.”
This displays the Document Camera on the Lectern Computer Monitor. The viewers on your stream will also see both the Document Camera and the Room Camera when this is enabled.
Switching the Camera Source
Using this method, only the Document Camera will be visible to students, not the Room Camera. This involves setting your active webcam to the Document Camera.
Click on the ^ icon next to "stop video" to change the camera source. (red circle on the photo)
Select WolfVision Video Capture (or UVC camera) to use the document camera as the video source.
Additional Notes
- Make sure the document camera is powered on before attempting to use it on Zoom.
- You must have the PC as the selected source on the touch panel for Zoom audio to function.
- Do not select the Doc Cam on the touch panel; this will take you away from your Zoom meeting.
- Switch the video source back to Room Camera if you want to display the Classroom view to remote students.
