3 of the conference rooms are equiped with Mac Minis and logitech cameras (3255,3004,3002)

- This will cause the Puck to turn green and start displaying the Mac on the TV. Log into the Mac with "Guest Account"

To Schedule your meeting with Zoom in one of these conference rooms just email bowersrooms-group@ucsc.edu.
These cameras will work with other conferencing tools (Google hangout, etc) We have found Zoom to have better audio and video performance with multiple sites.
