A new Logitech Webcam designed for medium-sized conference rooms that can be used with Zoom/BlueJeans/Adobe Connect, etc., has been installed in Paterno 126A and 126T. To get staff acquainted with the new setup in both of these rooms, I will be hosting a “open house” this week to demo the new webcam in these rooms.
Below are the times that you can stop by and see the new setup for each room, see how the webcam works and ask any questions you may have. Please feel free to stop by anytime during the hour.
Tuesday, Dec. 6, 10–11 a.m. — Room 126A
Friday, Dec. 9, 2:30–3:30 p.m. — Room 126T
Here are basic instructions on how to use the new webcam. This information is also available on the staff site Zoom training page if you need additional assistance and is provided in the rooms as well.
Getting Started with the Logitech BCC950 ConferenceCam
- Turn on computer.
- Attach webcam to speakerphone base.
- Connect power adapter to speakerphone base and AC outlet.
- Connect the USB cable to a computer USB port.
- Launch Zoom. Use the stand to place the webcam closer for eye-level conferencing.
- Video – Use Pan, Tilt, and Zoom to adjust the image in the preview window of Zoom. Press and release these controls for incremental adjustment. Press and hold for continuous adjustment.
- Caution – Do not manually rotate the webcam (camera head). Doing so may damage the unit.
- Volume – Use Volume Up and Down to adjust the volume.
- Speakerphone base activity light:
Blue: ConferenceCam is in an active call.
Blinking blue: A call is being received. (The blue activity light on the speakerphone base may not work in some applications.)
Red: Audio is muted.
Blinking red: A USB connection is being made between the ConferenceCam
and a computer.
- Usage Notes – The Answer and Hang up Features don’t work in Zoom. Use Zoom to answer and end a call.
