Summary

Computer & Monitor

This computer is set up to, with "One Button" record your screen, webcam, and audio.

All you have to do is make sure the computer is on, plug in your USB flash drive, and click the "record" button. If you forget a USB flash drive you may check one out from the Library.

Webcam & Microphone

The webcam is wide angle so that you may potentially be able to draw on a whiteboard behind you and an audience will be able to see the annotations.

This stick microphone will pick up in multiple directions, so if you turn your head while you're annotating on a white board, there may be some difference in the volume your audience hears but, it won't be too jarring.

USB Port

This USB Port is where you plug in your flash drive so that the computer automatically creates a folder where your recording will be saved. You could take your USB with you and then do the last steps (finding your file and sharing it) from your own device.

The file with the same name as the folder is what you'll upload/share; just make sure you choose the .mv4 file extension.
