Please Note: This room does not have a built-in computer or built-in meeting capabilities (no room speakers, cameras, or microphones). It only supports connecting a device's screen and audio to the 3 wall-mounted TV displays. To connect a device to the displays:
- Turn on the televisions using the red power button on the remote control.
- If the remote won't turn them on, you may need to manually turn on each TV by pressing its power button.
- Please inform the Help Desk if the remote is missing.
- Find the HDMI/USB-C cable connected to the wall on the front corner of the room between two of the TV displays.
- Connect either the HDMI cable or the attached USB-C adapter (dongle) to your laptop.
Troubleshooting Tips
If the TV displays are not projecting your device's screen, try the following:
- Make sure the TV display is turned on.
- Press the Source button on the remote control and select the device from the list of available sources on the television (It will typically be listed as HDMI 2).
- Unplug the HDMI cable from the laptop and plug it back in.
- If the television says "detecting device", you can skip this process by clicking the back/return button on the remote. You can skip any setup instructions that display on the television.
