Using the IPEVO VZ-R document camera with the MMC

You can use the IPEVO VZ-R document camera to share notes or drawing with both face-to-face and remote students. There are two methods to do this.

Method 1 (recommended)

This method uses the IPEVO Visualizer desktop app and can be used whether the instructor writes on a classroom whiteboard, on paper, or on a horizontal hand-held whiteboard.

Steps

1. Download and install the IPEVO visualizer software.
2. Connect the MMC to your laptop (both USB and HDMI)
3. Plug the IPEVO VZ-R into your laptop.
4. Start the meeting on your laptop.
5. Set the camera, microphone, and speakers to the Polycom Studio.
6. Open the IPEVO Visualizer app.
7. Adjust the position and focus of IPEVO.
8. In Teams share your screen.
9. Maximize the size of the IPEVO Visualizer app

Method 2

This method requires you to join Teams via a second computer and uses the IPEVO VZ-R to provide the camera feed from that second computer.

What this method does: allows you to display the feed from the IPEVO VZ-R doc cam in full screen on the MMC's monitor and in your Teams meeting.
