WebRTC

What Is It?

WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is an open-source app that allows you to use media communications such as video and voice between the device and a browser. In essence, it’s like using the web app version of the software. On the Cynap, we have Panopto and Zoom set up to use via WebRTC.

How to Use It

If you wish to record your presentation or have an interactive class with a guest speaker online, you may want to use either the Panopto or Zoom apps available on WebRTC. If you wish to use the camera in the classroom for a recording or meeting, you will need to use the Cynap and either Panopto or Zoom via WebRTC.

Step 1: Tap the Cynap Screen

Tap the Cynap screen to bring up the [+] sign menu.

Step 2: Choose the WebRTC App

Step 3: Choose Panopto, Zoom, or Teams

Choose whether you want to use Panopto, Zoom, or Teams for a recording or meeting, in the case of Zoom or Teams.

Step 4: Use the Room’s Microphone

Remember that in order to get audio to work, you will need to use the room’s microphone. In most cases, this will be a lapel-style microphone, though in some rooms, you may have a microphone in the ceiling or a gooseneck microphone.
