In rooms that have a Meeting OWL web conferencing camera, we recommend setting it as the speaker when using the classroom computer (even if there are other speakers installed in the room-- which there may not be)-- regardless of whether you use a classroom computer, laptop, or a mobile device. Here’s why.
IMPORTANT: If you do select a speaker other than the Meeting OWL in the classroom computer audio settings, please change the speaker setting back to the Meeting OWL before you leave.
Before starting a Zoom meeting
When usIng the Zoom conferencing application and before starting a meeting (similar process for other conferencing applications):
Find and select the settings cog (⚙) in the upper right portion of the Zoom home screen
Select Audio.
In the Speaker section, select “..... (Meeting Owl Pro)” from the drop down menu.
Click on the Test Speaker button. You should hear a chime emanating from the Meeting OWL.
If you are already in a Zoom meeting
Select the circumflex (^) next to the microphone icon in the lower left corner of the Zoom window - on the meeting controls toolbar. This pops up a menu. (If you don’t see the toolbar, try hovering the cursor/arrow on the lower edge of the zoom window - this should display the meeting controls toolbar.)
Under Select a speaker, select the Meeting Owl Pro
Uh-oh
If you do not hear the chime, or the chime is not coming from the Meeting OWL, check that the Meeting OWL is selected in the Speaker drop down menu.
