Getting Started with Video-Conferencing
In this course you'll find a set of resources to help you to get started in using the SUPA video network to attend or deliver lectures.
Lectures are booked so that the video conference service Vscene automatically calls your room. The rooms are set up to automatically answer the calls.
When attending a lecture you will need to turn on your projectors or video screens, and press a button on the desk to switch between the two cameras. See 'starting a call' below.
If there is a lot of noise, you might be asked to make use of the ‘microphone mute / unmute ’ button on the Vidyo remote. See 'during a call' below.
If your room is not connected to the conference exactly at the expected time, please contact us immediately.
There are instructions posted in each room and contact numbers for support.
If this is your first time using the equipment, please do get in touch with your local support contact (listed below) and arrange a short 10-15 minute training session before using the rooms, and make sure that you know who to contact if there is a problem at the start or during a call.
In each topic you'll find a video giving you the basic steps to carry out each step. After these you'll also find a set of quick guides which you can use as a reminder when using the system and a flowchart giving some advice on what steps to take if you encounter difficulties.
