Presenting to a Classroom 

If you are just presenting to a classroom and not through any video conferencing software, you will need to do the following. You will want to use Visualizer to present the IPEVO through MS Teams.

  1. Open the Visualizer program by selecting it from the IPEVO menu, or typing Visualizer in the Search.           
    screen capture for step 1
  2. It should default to the IPEVO camera, if not, make sure to select it.screen capture of step 2

Using MS Teams 

When using MS Teams, you currently will not want to select the IPEVO for the Camera option because it will reverse the image for all the students in the classroom. It would present correctly to those logged in through Teams.

To present using the IPEVO document camera through MS Teams, you will want to open the Visualizer program, as shown previously in this document.

  1. Choose the Share option in the MS Teams meeting.screen capture of step 1
  2. Select the Visualizer screen, or Screen, from options. Screen capture for step 2

Using Zoom 

When using Zoom, you have several options.

You can choose the IPEVO document camera as the camera to show, you can choose to show both the video camera and the IPEVO in the meeting, or use Visualizer and share the screen. If you choose to show the IPEVO as a camera, you will need to make sure to change the video settings so it does not display backwards. See below.

  1. To prevent the IPEVO image from displaying backwards to the participants in the classroom, you can edit your settings.

Using YuJa Capture (Recording Only)

1. Open the Visualizer and choose to record the screen instead of trying to choose the IPEVO as an option for the Camera. This also allows you to choose the Polycom Video Camera to show the classroom if needed by selecting it in the Video Source drop-down list.

2. Choose IPEVO VZ-R from the Video Source drop-down. If you choose this option, you can select the YuJa icon in the YuJa Capture bar in the bottom left to view the IPEVO and what is being recorded.

Why is the IPEVO showing up backwards on the projection screen when I am in class?
