The following eqipment is available for use by students, faculty, and staff:

Boundary Microphone

Helpful Tips

• You may need to manually rotate the computer screen to get desired camera angle.
• The boundary microphone is always on. A blue light indicates that it is functioning.
• The boundary microphone can pick up audio in a 25-foot range and can be used with web conferencing software such as Microsoft Teams.
• If a shared PowerPoint has an embedded video, share the Desktop screen for best results.

• adjust the Volume or Mute audio

Want to Present using your own Device? Use Kramer VIA.

Where available, you can wirelessly connect your personal devices (iPhones, Androids, and laptops) to the A/V system by using the Kramer VIA system or its mobile app that is available at Google Play and the Windows Store for Andriod devices, or use AirPlay for iOS devices. Read Kramer Notes

How to Connect to VIA: 

• Students and Employees: Connect your device to the eduroam network.
• Visitors: Connect your device to the Access宅男福利Wireless network. Ask an employee to grant you Presenter access.
• When connecting to 宅男福利's VIA: Use the provided Room Name (ex: 0l1160mc.valdosta.edu). Do not use the IP address.

How to Stream Video with Via:

 *KRAMER VIA NOTES:

• When using iOS devices (i.e., iPads or iPhones), it is recommended that you use Apple AirPlay instead of the Kramer Via mobile app to connect. Otherwise, if you use the Kramer Via mobile app and need to minimize the app, your connection to Kramer may be lost.
• Not all Kramer features may be available.
• Audio for Android devices may not be supported.

 *Remember to turn off the A/V unit when finished and sign out of the computer.
