If you wish to connect with your online students but are in a classroom that does not have Cynap, you can still do it!
Using Zoom in Your Classroom Without Cynap
Step 1: Connect Your Laptop
Connect your laptop using the cable (HDMI, USB-C, or VGA).
Step 2: Choose the Cable You Plugged Into
On your Control Panel, under your projector(s), choose the cable you plugged into. This will show your laptop on the screen for your students.
Step 3: Ensure Your Laptop is in Extended Mode
Note: often, PowerPoint will automatically extend your desktop so that you get Presenter view on your laptop and the presentation on the projector.
Step 4: Launch the Zoom App on Your Laptop
Step 5: Choose Share Screen
From the Zoom app, choose Share Screen.
Step 6: Choose the Projector Screen to Share
This will normally be Screen (or Desktop) 2. If you do not see Screen 2, ensure your laptop is set to extend the screen, rather than mirror or duplicate. It is best to share the entire screen, rather than just a PowerPoint because this will let you share web pages and other information without having to re-share your screen.
Step 7: Share Computer Sound
If you will be playing a video, make sure you check the box for Share Computer Sound.
Step 8: Hear Remote Students
If you want to hear your remote students or guest speakers over your classroom audio system, see this knowledge base article for playing audio from Zoom over classroom speakers.
