• If possible, use a wired connection rather than wireles connections. It reduces the risk for delays and interruptions.
• The quality of the audio stream is often more important than the video quality. Using a telephone conference microphone or headset is recommended.Sticks and Laser pointers are not seen in presentations. Use the Zoom annotation tools instead.

• If you have a thesis defence or similar, assign another person as host. This person can act as a moderator and mute microphones, set a video stream as a "spotlight video" and monitor the stream.  In case you want additional hosts for the meeting that can manage participants etc (i.e. co-hosts in Zoom lingo) you do it by right clicking on the participant and selecting "make co-host". See the Zoom co-host documentation for more information.
• In case you have more than one camera connected it is possible to show your second camera as a share. To do this start a share and in the selection dialog, under the advanced tab, select "Content from 2nd camera."

Meetings can in general be made from almost any device. Some meeting rooms at Fysikum have dedicated Video & Telephone conference equipment. The following setups can be used, and booked in Indico (except for FR4 and FB42):

• The Oskar Klein auditorium FR4 is equipped with a hardware setup to conduct video streams. Recordings can be started from a remote accessible computer, the camera can be remote controlled. Sound is tapped from the auditorium sound system, and microphones can be borrowed from the reception. Also a two-way communication is possible, i.e. remote participants can talk to the auditorium. See the detailed guide here.
• FB42 is equipped with a computer, PTZ camera and sound system. Mouse and keyboard can be borrowed at the technical division.
• C5:1007 is equipped with a computer, PTZ camera, table microphone and a feedback screen. Mouse and keyboard are in the room.
• Two mobile video conference systems (Logitech conference connect, datasheet) can be booked in Indico.
• Three document cameras (1x Optoma DC350, 2x Epson ELPDC21). They can be used instad of a black board and can stream handwritten notes directly into Zoom. See detailed guide here.
• Room microphone (Konftel 800) (ej användbar än).
• Lectures can also be recorded in advance, contact Alexander Agapov.
