Can I use my own laptop in a Zoom Room?

It has been clarified that anything attached to the cable loom will output to the Projector in the room but not be recorded by zoom unless the user is logged into the Zoom session. Therefore sharing what is on a laptop will not be shared with online participants unless you sign into the Zoom session on the laptop. By attaching a laptop and logging into the Zoom session the lectern PC will log out of the session – as you can only have one computer [plus a tablet and a mobile] logged into the same Zoom account simultaneously. But importantly, the session will continue to use/record the in-class microphones and camera if you do this – these will stop as per normal when you finish your lecture and end the Zoom session. Any questions on this please contact AVS@essex.ac.uk
